Day of the Penguins

I thought I would share a fun little story today. A co-worker gave these two penguins to my husband for the kids, along with two penguin movies. A co-worker did this!! She is too nice to say the least, thinking of my kiddos like that! Anyway, hubby brought home the movies and the penguins but didn't want to give it to them right away. I told him they would find them but he still hid them. As you can see, that was no easy feat. These penguins are HUGE!

So one Sunday afternoon we were getting ready to eat and changing the kids clothes when we hear HC squeal and then the following chant "I found some penguins I found some penguins I found some penguins!!!! Thank you Mommy!! Thank you Daddy!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!" JB then says "I want a penguin too"!!! HC "go see brother, it's in Daddy's closet!! You have a penguin toooooo!!!!!" The celebrations were divine!! They were thrilled, to say the least, and toted these two fellas around the house.

So thank you Mrs. Joyce!! Your precious gift was MUCH appreciated!!!

My son, Joey, got a big panda bear one year from someone and loved it. How sweet of your coworker.

What a fun surprise! The penguins look like they might be a little warm in your neck of the woods - since your kiddos have the shorts on and the penguins have the scarves! heeheee

Hope you're having a great weekend!!

I can not hide anything here because my kids always find it. My son either finds his Christmas present or guesses it. I know what fun you had though when they found the penguins. It is so joyous to hear the kids so happy isn't it? Have a nice day. God Bless

It's not everyday that one discovers a penguin hiding in your house.
