Postal Surprise!

The other day I was outside with the kids as well as with my friend, Nancy, and her two kids. We were in the playground with the four kids and were chatting away as usual. After a few minutes we noticed that the two older boys, the 3 year-olds, were missing. We started searching around looking down the sidewalks, out in the grass and in the trees when we heard some thumping noises. We couldn't figure out where is was coming from. Then we heard some giggling. We following the thumping and the giggling towards the mailboxes and noticed that the free-standing parcel boxes were shaking quite a bit. We heard more giggling and came around to the front to find the two boys each stashed in their own parcel box. We had a good laugh and tried to figure out how they managed to get into the top one and how they ever managed to fit their bodies in there. Maybe Destroy thought the Mailman would deliver him to one of his Grandparents' houses!

Race Car Rationale

Search and Destroy got remote control cars from Nana and Grandpa this last Christmas. Each remote consists of two buttons; one for straight forward and one for a backwards turn. It's pretty simple so that even Search gets the hang of it. We've only tried the cars out a couple of times and the boys haven't been very interested in using the remotes to control the cars. They preferred pushing the cars around with their hands instead. But tonight they decided that they wanted to use the remotes to control the cars. So I got each of them the remote to their car. The funny thing is that both cars can be controlled but one remote because I guess they are on the same frequency or something. So you push the button on one remote and both of the cars move. Two for the price of one, right!? The other funny thing is that if you push the forward button on the remote one of the cars goes backwards and the other goes forward. So the boys were trying to control their cars with their remotes but they couldn't make their cars go where they wanted them to go. Destroy especially was getting really frustrated. I just couldn't spoil the seceret because it was so funny to watch how they were trying to get these cars to work but they just couldn't understand what was going on!
