An unexpected gift

A couple of weeks ago I received this box in the mail. I wasn't really waiting on any packages, and the fedex guy came at an inconvenient time so I uncharacteristically set it on the book shelf and forgot to open it. I know, the horror. It was a few days before I remembered there was an unopened box in my home. Usually even when I'm not able to open boxes, the kids are just dying to tear into them ASAP.




One morning I shooed the older kids outside to play and opened my box. Then I remembered. Karen at Mommy's Favorite Children's Books had a giveaway and I won. Yes, again. No mom, I'm still not buying any lottery tickets. And no I'm not giving you the numbers I would play if I were to buy a ticket. My parents are hysterical.




My kids love I Spy Books and the oldest has even dabbled in the Where's Waldo genre. This one has a slight twist in that the objects to find are presented in riddle form. The boys honed in on the new book sitting in the room right away and it's become a favorite both for reading with momma as well as leisurely flipping through on their own. Now that, is a wonderful thing.




Thanks a bunch Karen!
