Thank a Mail Person Day

Feb 4th is Thank a Mailman day and what better way to teach Little S kindness and thoughtfulness other than showing him.


I got out a thank you card and wrote inside:

"We are mothers, and fathers.And Sons and Daughters, who everyday go about our lives with duty, honor, and pride, and neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night, nor the winds of change, nor a nation challenged, will stay us from the swift completion of our appointed rounds. Ever"

(The above is the text that appeared on the United States Postal Service commercial after 9/11.)

I continued with:

All of which would be so much easier in Hawaii rather than Wisconsin!

Thank you for being our tough and determined mail person.

We wrote Happy Thank a Mail Person Day Please Enjoy on the front of the envelope and attached the card with ribbons to a XL Hershey bar.

Then we went outside and decorated our mailbox with streamers, and a balloon sign. We put the gift inside the mailbox for the mail person.

In honor of today Little S had a mail inspired lunch:

Main: A slice of bread decorated with food color markers to look like a letter, with a freeze dried strawberry for the stamp, served with a mini silicone cup of strawberry jam to make a self serve sandwich. Sides: Baby carrot, diced pear, corn chips and a silicone cup of Mommy's Lime in the Coconut - coconut chips.
