I must tell you all about my day so far.....not that you really want to hear, but I just want to share.
So, kids are home from school today which means the early morning chaos doesn't end when the school bus comes. But we had a nice surprise when Eric left to go to work...a box on our porch from our Cast Member friend, Bill. He had send us a nice card and an Easter Basket filled with eggs and Disney pins for all of us. What a nice surprise and what a great way to calm the crazy morning.
Anyhoo, busy morning doing the usual. After the kids helped clean for awhile I wanted to take them all to Toys R Us to get a "prize" for the day. Baby Choo Choo for Elizabeth, Strategy Guide for Forrest, Fur Real Friends baby duck for Alyssa, and of course CARS for Dawson! Trying to redeem the leftover amounts on Christmas gift cards was quite lengthy which provided Dawson with just the right amount of time and motivation to pull one of his tantrums. Yep....blood pressure rising, nerves frazzled, the whole nine yards.
Completely frustrated but with prizes in hand we left the store. I guessed that attempting to go somewhere that I needed to go for myself was out of the question....so we headed for a drive thru before going home.
Trying to place an order through the speaker at Arby's when Dawson, who had mostly calmed down by now because Lightning McQueen and Mater were now out of the box and safely in his hands, decided that it was time to scream again. So, I'm attempting to place our order with him yelling in the background....any mom probably knows exactly what I'm talking about.
Taking a deep breath in......and letting it out. Come on Amy, you can do this!
We survived the drive thru and went straight for the safety of our home.
Driving up the driveway I check the mailbox.....
As soon as I open it up I see a white box covered with Disney stickers, Disney stamps, and the words, "Magic Box" on it. What? Bill had already sent us a nice Easter surprise? I'm so confused!?
So, looking at the return address I knew exactly who it was from, but why? Hmmm....
It appears that Meggin sent some pixie dust all the way to Virginia! It was a box filled with goodies for all. Hand written notes, and special Disney Dollars for each of my kids (by the way....too much Meggin! Four kids are 'spensive) wrapped in Pooh Bear paper with their names written on each! Nice touch! Pixie Dust falls from the box each time I reach in for more....and then there are more pins and antenna toppers! What a treasure chest of Disney Magic and such a truly nice surprise!
So, the reason for the story is to simply say to Meggin (which I already did privately) but would like to say publicly.....
"Thank you so very much!"
The time and personal attention you took to send us such a thoughtful box of magic proved to us that you are indeed a sweet person who believes in spreading that pixie dust...literally! You just sprinted for the finish line Meggin, and me and my clan will work on making sure you are in the Top 3!
I just wanted to pass along some behind the scene magic that happened to us today...thanks to Meggin!
Have a great day all!
Amy
...........oh........how sweet.......the little DISers look like angels when they are asleep
