Geographically, our state is right above Crossview's, but that didn't stop the "oohs" and "aahs" as I pulled the items out of the swap package we received over the weekend.
Several weeks ago Crossview put out a feeler on her blog about having a state swap with various other homeschoolers. I immediately signed up, and it was so much fun packing and putting things together, trying to represent my state with little tidbits that I was to mail away. The kids were enthralled with the cotton, and I'm quite sure they had assumed that it felt like their tee-shirts and didn't give much thought at all to where it came from. Harrison pulled out the pine cone and said, "What's this?" I was amazed that he didn't know what it was. But then I remember that he was less than a year and half years old when we moved from South Carolina, and while we do have pines here, they are not as prolific as further south, so he had never held one or seen one up close. It was fun to read through Crossview's small town newspaper. And now I'm wondering how I can get to a Harvey's grocery because they have a really good deal on smoked hams this week.... We have been to Georgia a handful of times. We even have family that live in Georgia. Yet we still learned many, many things by reading through Crossview's hand-outs. The kids each had their own favorite portions of the package...
and...
We have bought Reese Cups for Annaleigh before, so I'm not sure why she felt the need to kiss these. And Harrison has decided that he is, in fact, willing to chew the Bulldog gum even though he is a big UT fan. Thanks, Crossview! I hope you enjoyed our package as much as we enjoyed yours. And, readers, hop on over to her blog and take a look at what they received from good ol' Tennessee. |
