My parents went to Florida for their February break ('cause in the north they get to have a break in February AND in April! Lucky dogs.) and picked up the kids and I a few cool little trinkets while they were there. As always, boxes from Mamie are full of surprises, you just never know what she is going to have thrown in there!
For the sassy girl, she sent this incredibly tacky, incredibly awesome picture frame with pink fur on the the top and lounging pink flamingos on it. Totally gift shop tacky and it was great! For the boy child she sent a necklace with a sharks tooth on it, which every 7 yr old boy will tell you "rocks".
But the best part, the absolute best part, was when the boy child opened the necklace and took it out of it's little package and exclaimed "It's still warm from Florida!" with pure delight. I didn't have the heart to tell him it was warm from sitting in the box, inside the car all afternoon with the sun beating down on it. I"m not above messing with his head, but I am not into smashing my baby's joy with the truth.
And me you ask? What did I get? Well, I got me some fingernail polish that changes color in the sun! It is so cool! I have already had to hide the bottles from sassy girl. Cause if I don't they will disappear into the cave she calls a room!
