another freeze dried care package

Okay, okay. We're not really sending Hannah Claire beef jerky anything FREEZE DRIED in her care package. It's just that the food saver bags are coming in handy again to get all of her goodies to fit in the allotted one gallon sized bag. We've been putting things in food saver bags to suck all of the air out of the package to cram as much stuff as possible into one little bag.

I read somewhere that another parent thought the children where Hannah Claire lives could use some more toys. We found a flowered "Chime Garden" by Lamaze that looked like fun and just fits... barely... into a one gallon bag. When you press on a flower it lights up and make a sweet non-irritating chime sound. There's another setting that plays an entire song when you press on a flower. The flowers are bright colors with different crinkly, soft, and taggie textures. We also sent a teething rattle that looks like a flower with a mirror, a tube of diaper cream, and finished it off with some candies for the nannies.

Sedona pawed at the package wrapped in plastic tonight. She studied me with a confused look on her face. "I don't get it. Why would my mommy and daddy buy toys, seal them up in plastic, and not let me play with them?" Oh, babydog. Our lives are gonna change!
