Care Package


We decided to send the Mermaid a care package. The Mommies in our Yahoo group that have children from the same SWI (Social Welfare Institute aka the orphanage) encouraged me to do it. They stated the Director of the SWI has been very open to visits and has helped to prepare the children for adoption. They got me the address and we spent Sunday getting the photo album labeled and everything packed in the box. I took a picture of what we put in it. Here's the list... a pair of capri jeans, a yellow top with ladybugs, socks, underwear, ladybug bubbles from the shower, Dora fruit snacks, a pound of lollipops, Dora's brother/sister mermaid dolls with a dolphin, hand soap and lotion, a disposable camera, a drawing from the Pirate and a photo album of us! It took 45 minutes to get it ready to mail at the post office. Fill this form out, then this one, tape this on it...blah, blah, blah! When we walked out, Ted laughed...he thought the line of people should have applauded! It will take a week to get there. She should have in on Monday, May 12th. I hope she likes what we sent her...
