The Love of Siblings

To save on postage my siblings ship everything (and I really mean everything) to my house rather than cross the border. It does save money and time. So Sherylee calls because they need to ship Brett and Malori's gift here and Ken will pick it up. So the first day we miss the UPS delivery and the next day we miss the UPS delivery so I leave a note of the door tell the delivery man to please the the PACKAGE just inside the door and to be careful there is a small dog. So the kids get home from school and call asking me what came and I nonchalantly tell them that Aunt Sherylee ordered a package. They were a little confused and I was in the middle of something.

Well this is what greeted me when I came home . . .

Sherylee's package is in there somewhere and I think the UPS guy got a kick out of my note and the one package.

Now this is only round one - Ken did come pick up all his packages but before the long we started receiving packages for Rob and Becky. They are lucky because Granny and Grandpa Paul had them packed up before I could get a picture.

Most kids get excited about seeing a package on the doorstep - not the Hemsleys because it is never for us. So options . . .

1. Start a shipping company for the Canadians

2. Buy a whole bunch of stuff from Canada and ship it to the family

3. Tell the family - seriously - no more

4. Be grateful they ship it here otherwise no one would ever come visit us.

Hmmmmm!
