This is how we roll

Two weeks ago while we were out riding bikes with our neighbors the Fed Ex man pulled up, pointed at my house, and asked if one of us lived there. I told him that I did. He said he had a BIG box for me. Puzzled, I looked at my neighbor and told her that I hadn't ordered anything. She suggested that maybe Bill was surprising me for Valentine's. No, I knew that was not the case b/c our gift to each other was the rodeo tickets that had arrived earlier in the week. The nice man produced a large box containing a pink Surfer Girl Jeep. Now I knew he had the wrong house b/c we certainly hadn't ordered this! I asked him to check the address again, he showed me the label with my girls' names on it. Hmm. The sender, Toys-R-Us. No other name attached. My girls declared that Santa HAD remembered what they really wanted- even if it was a bit late. (More on that story from Christmas later.)

Here are the grateful and elated recipients of an anonymous gift.

The 4 wheeler has not been replaced, however it resides in the backyard. The girls spend hours riding it in circles and last week they got a bit creative. They came running in and asked for a rope so they could pull the red car. My initial inclination was to deny them the rope, and then I thought, "Why not?" They need an opportunity to be 'creative'. So Madisen the knot tier tied it up and off they went. I couldn't find my camera the first day, but here are Caitlyn and Brooklyn continuing to enjoy the fruits of Madisen's labor.
Don't confuse that look of concern on Brooklyn's face with dislike, she was just squinting as she looked into the sun.
