All the way from Carburetor Country...

...came a surprise package for my boys. We don't know who sent it, but we sure got a big kick out of their return address.

Honestly, when we opened the box I almost cried. It was so sweet and thoughtful for someone to spoil my boys with all of these adorable cars.

The look on their faces says it all. It was one HAPPY day at our house. John turned on the Cars soundtrack, and the boys frantically grabbed their little treasures as they cruised to the music.



And Ollie loves to play with them too. He makes the cutest little car noises(jhjhjhjhjh--how does one spell car noises??), I could just die.






And whoever sent these, must know kids pretty well to put TWO McQueens in the package.

We have no idea why such kindness was bestowed on us, but we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.







We think you are pretty swell, our secret "Lightning McQueen and Friends"!

**sorry for two posts in-a-row about anonymous donors, but i just cannot sleep at night without having properly thanked them for such sweetness!!!

  1. wow, all these anonymous blessings that are coming your way!! Amazing! And wonderful-- it makes me happy to see it. There are such sweet, sweet people out there, and you and your family are obviously very very loved.

    I have to tell you how much I loved your last comment on my mini-van post... you put it so perfectly: "not grown-up, just happy". I'm still all lalalalalala myself! :)No wonder I love you.

  2. I think someone has decided to spend time encouraging and blessing your family. My guess is the Target card and the Cars are from the same person. What a fun surprise!

  10. Oh so CUTE!! I miss Logan's Cars phase. He's moved on to other things... but seeing your kids playing with their new cars brings back all the memories of the car sound effects and borderline obsession with all things Pixar Cars!

  12. Wow, I am loving hearing about all of these blessings you've received! Your boys look absolutely thrilled with their new cars. My sons have quite the collection thanks to their grandparents, and for some reason we always have to call them "Cars cars" to differentiate between regular hot wheels and the movie cars, LOL! Your Secret Admirer is super creative, I love the return address!!

  15. Just reading your recent "anonymous blessings" posts makes me want to do something like that for someone. Now, I must think of someone who could really be blessed by a surprise care package. Thanks for posting these. It is so fun to read how blessed you are. Oh, I don't know if I've ever commented on your blog, either. I just realized that. But, I read it all the time. Love it!
