Have I got SCARY movies...........yes, I do!!!!! Bunches!!!!
We're having a New Year's wedding for our sailor, so I may not participate this time. I will follow the discussion though in hopes that others come through this time. Have a Merry Christmas all you Molly's Moms!
I have the Assassins Creed 3 XBox 360 game! It was delivered today! My oldest son gave me a link to buy the rifle cleaning kits but they were sold out. I checked Amazon and they were twice as much so I will have him look for another site. Can you ask the POC if they are for the AR 15? I didn't know if there was a difference in them or not. My son said the Otis ones were for military but I'd hate to buy something that wouldn't work for them.
Hey Sheryl, where are the pictures from the Southern NE Packing Party? I looked and couldn't find them.
Some additional photos from the NE Packing Party - some of the items as we started sorting out everyone items, our recycle crew who blew through breaking down the trash and disposing of same - great job and finally our stash of boxes patiently awaiting their ship date. The Post Office has been advised, warned that we have 78+ boxes going out 12/26 or 12/27 - I plan to take pictures of my time at the post office. He just told me not to come at "noon" time.

He doesn't even know what is coming and that is the fun part! I always want to be a fly on the wall when they get all the boxes!
You are so right Sheryl ... They are just very big kids at heart. Kind of nice how they bring out the kids in US!! :)
Sheryl had been asking our adoptees if there was anything special/in particular they waited or needed. She was informed that they would like the game RISK. So Shery went out and purchased the game and off it went. They received this special package in 5 days - WOW. Enjoy pics of the group enjoying some downtime - they are still "kids" at heart.
