Another fun package!

Aunt Brenda sent Lexi a package and it arrived yesterday! Lexi loves to receive packages; so, when I picked her up from daycare, I had the little notice from the post office in my hand. Talk about a motivating factor to quit playing and head out! She is normally one to keep playing or take ages to gather her stuff to come home, but yesterday it was lightening fast. We were going to our local grocery store / post dispatch to pick up her package!

Aunt Brenda, Cousin Jennifer and Cousin Jonathan sent a huge goody box with loads of arts and crafts type activities. Lexi had to try everything last night! The video clip of her opening the package is below, but I didn't manage to get the camera back out in time for every "activity station".

Here is the end result of her painting...

Here is her new book stand with one of her books on it...

Here she is tryin out her new chalk and chalk holders....

Here she is drawing with the "magic" markers (see second video clip below)...
Here she is stencilling...

Balloons from Grammy & Grandpa

Lexi received a balloon (or ba-balloon) bouquet from Grammy and Grandpa on Tuesday afternoon. It was an early "Get Well" since she was going into the hospital Wednesday morning to have her tonsils and adenoids removed. All went well with the surgery and we are home recovering. Her appetite is starting to come back and she was in better spirirts this evening. She will be home from daycare at least 5-7 days. We'll just have to see how it goes....
