time for some snail mail

I think I have a major case of spring fever.  I really want to be outside weeding the garden, but instead I am sitting here watching the rain fall (which I love) and am relaxing. I have been on spring clean mode and it is so nice to have a nearly clean house (tomorrow will wrap it up!).  YAY!

There seems to be a trend in the blog world about getting creative about snail mail.  I love snail mail. . . who doesn't?  I mean, something else than junk mail and bills would be nice, right?  So, Ethan and I decided to try it out and send his cousin in Wyoming a bounce ball.  I will admit that I was kind of hoping a that the workers at the Post Office would seem a little suprised that we were mailing a ball the size of a beach ball, but nope.  They just smiled and enjoyed every minute of it.  I even let Ethan help do the mailing.  It was a really fun experience!  We will definitely be sending the cousin some more things in the future!
