The kids have had fun this week. All these fun things keep arriving in the mail! It's like Christmas for them as they have no idea what it is in the boxes! IT'S SHEER TORTURE... MUST... OPEN... BOXES..... Haha.
Well, why the kids love Amazon.com because it is fun to get boxes in the mail, we adults find it fun for other reasons. Plain and simple, it's a time saver and so much cheaper to just shop online in some cases! While I could have made an hour round trip to pick up Barry's birthday present, Dominion Prosperity, it was a lot faster to sit at Angela's computer and take less than 5 minutes to pick, checkout and have it shipped. Oh yeah, and did I mention it was way cheaper online than it is in the store? The kids think it is great because they got to help and decide. I love Amazon.com because they still got to pick and I don't have to drag them all to a store (and watch Ethan go crazy in the toy store). And, with Amazon Prime it is free shipping. No gas money and ships free to boot! Ah, it's a win all around. Especially for Barry, who creamed us all when we played. He was so excited to play. Just like a little kid getting his favorite toy at Christmas. Yup, exactly like that!
And, I will point out that I'm not the only Amazon shopper around here. The Hatch famiy sent Barry's birthday present via amazon, too. Oh, and then Barry had ordered a few things we needed. Four packages in total. My kids are hilarious about boxes in the mail!
So, if you have no idea what we are talking about - here is our family's absolute FAVORITE game:. Dominion. Thanks to the Hatch family for introducing it to us! Although, we do highly recommend the Dominion Big Box rather than buying Dominion and then Dominion Prosperity separate.
