My DD was adament that Max had to have a Disney Book. Jack Sparrow is the first book in a series. My younger DD loves Humphrey. Enjoy. I agree, it's always more fun to read when you get the books in the mail.

I was so excited to be able to give Shayla a Usborne book. :)
I'm glad Brandon likes the Bob the Builder ones.
Figured we were sending a flat rate box, might as well get our money worths by weighing it down with books. :thumbsup2

[PrincessParty]

Our final exchange says it has arrived in VA according to the delivery confirmation. :woohoo: This was a fun exchange. :banana:

The UPS man visited again! :cool1: Emmy is away at Girl Scout camp this week, but will be thrilled when she gets home. She received Kingdom Keepers from Allentown, PA. I have read this book and Emmy wants to. We sent this book for our book exchange too. I had told her she could pick 1 book for herself. (How can you go to a bookstore and not buy a book for yourself?) :rotfl2: She had a hard time choosing, but chose the National Treasure series book so she will be very excited to see this when she gets home. :goodvibes Thank you for a wonderful exchange. :banana: :banana: :banana:

[PrincessParty]

:thumbsup2 Katey received her exchange from Shayla. She received Barbie tattoos, How to write a play, Walt Disney's Cinderella, and Dora's World Adventure Thank you. We had just returned from the library and she was excited to have even more books to read. Thanks again! :goodvibes

Sorry for the delay... I haven't checked the mail since Thursday probably... we just moved in so I figured we wouldn't have much mail and it was a busy weekend.

Gabe received a Webkinz magnetic bookmark, Magic Tree House Hour of the Olympics, and The World According to Humphrey. He says Thank You Emmy! to PrincessParty's DD Emmy

Matt received Richard Scarry's A Day at the Airport (one of my fave's as a kid), Let's Go Shopping (an activity book), and Theodore Hugs the Coast. He also received a strip of animal stickers. He also says thanks - he's begging me to read to him. This came from Brandon, mommytotwo's DS.

Ours will be out tomorrow...

Does anyone have any ideas on the next kids exchange?

I was thinking of maybe a Back to School one, but with everyone starting at a different time, I would start it now.

When do your kids return back to school? My daughter returns on July 31st.
:(

[sbpuckett]

Official first day back is the day after Labor Day, so the first week of September.

[PrincessParty]

Mine go back on Aug 21st. A Thursday! :confused3

I will be putting together another exchange that can tie into summer or be used after summer as well, so keep an eye out for it :).

[mommytotwo]

Just posted the new exchange :).

[sbpuckett]

Both of our exchanges are officially postal... I had a hard time picking books since I have boys... I hope the girls like the ones I sent (and haven't read them of course).

[PixieDust32]

I hope these were appropriate for her age... it's been awhile ya know and then I also have boys... Number the Stars is on the VA summer reading list so I thought that might do some good when school starts too... maybe a book report or something. Anyway, I hope she enjoys them:)

[mommytotwo]

Hi all, I just wanted to tell my friends in Hawaii that there has been a problem with the post office. Packages I mailed last week (two exchanges, in fact) were delivered to ME instead of where they should have gone. Please hang in there just a little longer- and I'm sooooooo sorry- I'm going to the PO tomorrow to find out what happened. It's absolutely no fun waiting and waiting, I know.:(



No problem. Just post here after you have sent it out. Thank you for letting us know of what is going on :).

Here is a list of those still waiting. If your name is on here, and you have recieved your exchange, or if you do not see your name listed, and have not recieved your exchange, please let me know.

*Shawny
*Katey
*Brandon
*Shayla

[maxsmomamy]

Should be soon, now Shayla! I think if we do this exchange again, I'll go Amazon the whole way. The ladies I sent via Amazon got their books already. Seems the PO isn't always reliable. Still don't understand why the books were sent back to me, and they didn't have an answer when I asked. Very strange!

Glad you got'em. I hope they were OK for her and she hadn't read either yet. I was a big Judy bloom fan at that age and remember that book being "helpful" if you know what I mean. Then again, I have boys and don't know much about girls these days :rolleyes1

[PixieDust32]

The books are perfect, she didn't have the HM book and the Judy Blooms is perfect, she read one at church youth group and she loved it.

Thanks again.

Yes, I don't think my blood pressure has ever been that high (at least I hope not) and I definately have a few more gray hairs to show from that. It was fun though once all of the stress subsided. :banana:
