A bit back Headless Mom over at The Adventures of the Headlless Family Posted about her HBs being done with Pokemon cards. My boys are just getting into it. Funny how that works. I think both our boys are about 7ish?
The post by Headless Mom was here And being a good reader I replied, and learned a bit more about Pokemon.
Yesterday when Hubbie got home he had the mail pile, you know the "bills" I'd really wish Bill would change his address, I'm tired of cleaning up his dirty work. In the middle of the pile. I see a package! YAY! package. I had just been talking to Headless Mom the night before about the fact that it can take 2wks sometimes for mail to come from 7hours away, her mail was coming from the west Coast of the USA, we are patient. Also anticipation is part of the fun! really who doesn't love to get mail!!

So we gave AJ the envelope, and my batteries died on my camera! can you believe this? yep we have a Kodak that's about 3yrs old, it now will only recharge it's own batteries, it used to take disposables or other rechargeable, not now. (sorry Tangent.. there) He was so excited about what was in the package he ran from the Dinning room to the sofa to examine the cards. Do you know how many times a child of a mom from the 80s says "oh cool!!"? Many I lost count, he was so very excited. He then said "and there's a note for mom!" YAY I like getting mail too. Headless Mom wrote me a lovely note. I love making new friends. I had called her "friend" before, I call you all friends really, but this is icing on the cake.
The Best Part of all this? it arrives on Earth Day!!! I'm just so sorry that I didn't get to writing this post yesterday to post. This is our R! reducing landfills, yes the cards are paper and yes they will break down but before that ever happens, there's a chance for these cards to be "reused"!
Thanks for the Headless Mom and her Headless Boys, from me and my KyootBoy :)

Thank you so much for your kind words. The boys think that this is really cool. (See? 80's words around here too!)So glad your boys will enjoy them!
I'm sooooo glad my boys never got into pokemon, but I may be in for a rough rise with the Bakugan cards!
