The Five of Us, Spring 2014
Scrapping--Second Christmas
My sissy sent us all a care package last week! The card said, "Rachel, Aaron, Pea and Punk~> I hope that you all have been having fun in the snow this winter, but I'm guessing that you have been spending a lot of time cooped up indoors too. So here is a care package that I hope will warm your hearts and make you indoor time more fun! And fear not--spring is on the way! Love, Tia Sarah P.S.--TAKE PICTURES!!"
So, here are the pictures! Take note that we do UGLY Christmas in my family traditions and that goes for Second Christmases too (actually, since no one really sees me in the office here, I don't make much effort. If I'd known that the box was coming and that I'd be featured in these photos, I might have spent more time on myself).
We made the kids take turns opening things, and Punk got to go first. He's been having a lot of fun playing doctor. I'm a little worried though--his favorite thing is to give everyone shots! Ouch!
More Color Wonder paints! Yippee!And a sweater to go with the shirt. The sweater caused almost as much joy as the shirt did!See Pea's mouth? Yep, stuffed with monster-bug-hug chocolate!Dr. Mom listens to Punk's heart while Pea shows Daddy the yummy chocolate!And, finally, monster-bug-hug chocoloate for Punk!Three cheers for Tia Sarah! (She also sent A and me a heart-shaped box of truffles. Mmmmmm! Truffles are the BEST! And, star pasta for soup. And lip balm. And, a couple other things too) Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!

Talk To Me
I blog for myself and my kids and I would do it even if no one else cared, but I do like to hear from you (and think it's a wee bit creepy of you to voyeurize us without my knowing it). So, please leave a comment from time to time, or email me anytime at xawilsons@hotmail.com. Much obliged, I'm sure.
Stalkers, Caught Red-Handed!
