Big fun in the little things

The post man came today and informed us that we had two parcels waiting at the post office (they deliver mail on bicycles here, so they can not deliver parcels usually, you have to go get them).

At this information there was shouts of joy and a certain level of disbelief. Had they really come? Could it be true?

My wife got up right away and got in the car and drove to the post office. She returned with two parcels in hand. It was true. They had arrived.

My family had shipped us two new car/booster seats for the kids. The two were only worth $30 total, but cost 3-4 times that much to send. We were not sure they would ever arrive, and if so, in what condition they would be. But they were totally fine. The boxes looked like they had been used at a monster truck rally or something, but the seats inside were fine.

After opening the boxes the kids wanted to try their new seats, placing them on top of various furniture around the house and seeing which ones they were most comfy on.

Amazing how there can be such big fun in such small packages.
