Today our school was rudely interrupted by the UPS guy. This is how excited the boys were. My mother bought them a present for Christmas and then later was told it would be shipped in February. The boys didn't forget and every day in February they anxiously awaited the mail. February came and went and no package. March was quickly escaping them and still no present. Finally today, the long waited for package arrived.

They desperately agreed to some photos first and then tore into the package.

This is Job's very astonished look over the whole present.

They have a "club" with the neighbor girl and she has convinced them to put their money in for club dues. The dues will be saved up and then communicator watches will be bought. My mother had bought these watches back in December. The come with an ear plug and microphone and can transmit up to 1 1/2 miles away. So much for club dues.

This is a picture of a very happy boy.

Do you think we could get any work done? Of course, they just couldn't use their watches until their school work and chores were done. I use all the carrots I can.
