My Mom is Cool

Yesterday I got a package from my mom with lots of cool stuff!  I love getting things in the mail but I haven't got a package for a really long time so I was super excited.  It felt like I was at Camp Ernst again... At camp all the parents used to send us TONS of candy in packages.  I don't know why because my mom didn't generally give us tons of candy but if she didn't send us candy at camp then she probably would have fallen into the bad mom category.  Like the mom of a girl in my cabin whose name was Dorkus.  Dorkus clearly didn't get any packages.

Yay!  Look at all this stuff.  We don't have Reese's in England and of course we don't have Busken's sugar cookies on hand.  I'm pretty sure that I told my mom not to send the cookies because I thought they wouldn't be any good by the time they got here.  She didn't listen to me and sent them anyways and they were super good!

Then there is the Cincinnati Chili mix.  Nick is REALLY excited about this because he says it's the only thing I  make for him that really tastes like he's eating meat.  I make an awesome vegetarian 3-way and I bet you couldn't tell the difference in a skyline chili taste - off.

And she sent me a book by Jane Goodall and Thane Maynard (head honcho at the Cincinnati Zoo) so that obviously scores some points.

Hooray for packages!  Thanks Mom!
