I am sure Amazon outsources some of these warehousing, packing & shipping. It intrigues me how they can offer 2-day shipping for a book, or a DVD, while still making a profit. If they are, then UPS must not be making much off of them…

Thank you for the Xmas wishes! We did fly. With our boys, we dare not take the 12+-hour drive. Maybe if we had a tricked-out van with DVD players etc. LOL. No. We are not looking at upgrading to a van or SUV. Probably never will.

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas surrounded by your loved ones. xxoo

William is Awesome! And a MacGyver in the making. (I’m hoping NOT Tim the Tool Man, but I have a feeling that his is the sensitive soul so no worry there…)

At times I’ve wondered who is doing the packaging for Amazon because there seems to be no logic behind it.

Did you fly there? Our daughter had everything mailed here, too. They drove, but there wasn’t room for gifts and their dog. I now have a year’s supply of boxes to mail birthday presents in.

I hope you’ve had a wonderful, wonderful day!

Oh. . . one grandson brought no clothes, but plenty of books! Good thing is brother is the same size! The Little Shaver brought his pirate chest with all of his special treasures. Since we gave it to him for his birthday, it made our day to see it was special to him.

Give Mr. Monk an extra hug! Grandma surely has some rabbit ears that need aluminum foil.

I am always so happy to hear of mom’s who allow children the freedom to the pack what we might “deem” unnecessary. It is cute to see what they value and think they will need, and how important it makes them feel. My William is only 3 and loves to pack his backpack with his tools. He is unshakable in his confidence that with the right tools, he can fix anything. Last week, one of the palm fronds was broken from the winds. When I told him Daddy would need to get the saw to fix it, without delay he fetched 3 different kinds of his own saws and set up to tackle the job. Merry Christmas, Lin.

I do feel that they will play well together. Hope you have been enjoying your Christmas day! And that all the wrapping paper has been picked up and thrown away.

My boys do the exact same thing! Every time we go somewhere overnight they have to pack (and sometimes the strangest things) their backpacks to take along. Sounds like our boys would get along just fine!

Merry, merry Christmas to you and yours! And have a safe travel home!

My son (six years) packs much the same way.

Merry Christmas!
