Well one old Aussie morning, i was in bed after a long night horrendous night shift when a knock at the door woke me.
i grumbled along to get dressed only to hear the door slam on a van and ran to the door as the postie drove away- SH!t i said to myself but lo and behold at my feet was a brown box with my mates name on it - our Ohio Postie had sent us a package and it was BIG!

i brought in inside while my wife and kids asked me what i was doing up - grumble, grumble - i put the box in the bedroom and they asked when i was gonna open it - grumble grumble - i closed the door and went back to sleep

i awoke early - prior to my alarm and my heart was racing - good god there was a package to be opened - i grabbed the camera and opened the package carefully
herein front of me was a package full of goodies cause it was full

next to keep the wee nippers away from annoying daddy some goodies that ended up delayed delivery to them due to someone biting someone and someone pushing someone anyway you get the idea(see later post for the fateful delivery) but here are the unspoiled goodies

I wonder if those are re-cycled bowen packing peanuts ? ;)

[VinReaper]

Awesome!!! Great job fellas looking out for our brethren around the world.

And might I say the little ones are so cute I almost lost my sense and wanted to get married just to have some of my own! :D

And Lou, I think you are right! They look like the cellulose kind that Rocky uses!
