CHAP STICK ALERT!!!

The Pirate Ship

Happy with the cookies

Today the kids felt like they had struck GOLD. First they get homemade cookies (NOTE: yes, I made these from a box mix... bad mom... but hey... I am a working mother!!!) Then we go out to pick up our pre-made turkey dinner at Giant Food (yes, that is correct, I get one of the pre-cooked turkey dinners with the side items. We really eat Thanksgiving at my parents. I just buy the dinner so I can cook it the next day so the house SMELLS like I actually cooked a real Thanksgiving dinner) and it comes in a huge box that Kiah and Jake decide to make into a pirate ship. All was fine and good until the doorbell rings. It was FEDEX. FEDEX and UPS deliveries ALWAYS sends the kids running to the door! They think... "what a nice guy for him to be delivering wonderful things to our house!" Anyway, he was delivering Jake's new BRITAX carseat! Now this box was truly HUGE! They immediately made it into a fort (after I throughly washed it down with a wet washcloth). I took a surprise picture of Kiah in the box and she was NOT happy. She has found her carefully hidden Chap Stick (the girl is already addicted) and sat there applying 59 layers of cherry flavored Chap Stick to her poor face. AHHH!!!
