We recieve 2 BIG boxes from Grandma Adamson today. Victoria literally squealed with delight as she claimed 90% of the items. Books, stuffed animals, Halloween decorations, lanterns & much, much more! She does have an advantage... everyone else is at school. Porter is sleeping with Fiddle the dog, Victoria with a pretty bear in a fancy dress. The kids loved going through all their new found treasures! Thanks Mom. We love you.
P.S. I laughed today! I danced in the car as we added 100 more miles to the odometer, giggling with Casey all the while. I shook the grouchies out of Porter... tipped him upside down & giggled till they all fell out. Serenaded Samantha in the kitchen... she started pelting me with candy corn?! Long, tiresome, lonely day... but successful nonetheless!
