Eeeek! Has anyone on list one gotten a valentine from Maine?!?!

 

The post office sent me a card saying they have 2 items there for not enough postage... all of the cards are the same, so I'm not sure why they only have 2... or if I should anticipate the letting me know they are all on hold soon :(

 

So sorry if there is a delay in getting ours!! :(

I wish I could help you out.  But, wanted to tell you not to worry about it.  While we looked up (on the map) where we were sending/receiving valentines. . . we did this when they went out.  I didn't want to be checking off a list as things came in.  After all, things happen!  One of mine came back because it was missing a stamp.  I thought I double checked them all.  The kids enjoyed opening all the valentines, and if they missed one--well, then they missed one.  Please don't stress.

Best day yet!  They've been trickling in a few at a time for the past week.  Sometimes, oddly enough, there will be an envelope for my son without the corresponding envelope for my daughter, or vice versa -- interesting how they get split up en route.  Sometimes there were several days in between, in fact.

 

But today, there were *5* envelopes for *each* kid.  Our mailbox was stuffed full!  My daughter's eyes just lit up and her face shone.  She doesn't care a whit that Valentine's Day was 2 days ago now (and I had warned them ahead of time that we'd likely be getting cards well past the actual day because of mailing from US to Canada), it's just extending the joy for her.  :)

 

My son's happy too, don't get me wrong, but he's getting into the pre-teen 'stoic' phase.  Plus, he's at band practice right now and hasn't seen today's haul yet.  ;)

Hey List 2-ers!  Just wanted to give a huge "thanks" to everyone -- they're still trickling in and the kiddos love love love them.  (postal delivery in the Windy City can be erratic at times lol.gif)

This was so much fun - thanks to everyone who sent such fun mail. The girls had a blast.
