A surprise in the mail!

About 6 weeks ago the kids and I sat down at the kitchen table to eat up a bit of a rainy morning.  My addiction to Pinterest has helped during the times when outdoor play isn't an option, so off I went to my trusty iPhone Pinterest app and came across this activity.

Did you know if your child/children writes a note to a Disney character and mails it off to Disney World the word on the street is that character will send your child/children an autographed picture to them?  Mickey and Princesses tend to run the house according to two of my kids, so I thought it was worth a try.  Unfortunately I wasn't thinking in advance that morning and didn't get any pictures of the letters and drawings Caroline, Jackson and Ryan made for Ariel, Nemo and Mickey.  What I remember is that Caroline actually wrote her letter to Ariel and chimed in to finish the letters for her brothers.  Ryan scribbled a few crayons on the paper and that was the end of his masterpiece and Jackson actually got distracted and ditched the activity truthfully.  But what are big sisters for, if not to step in and finish the job?

And today, 3 excited kids opened the mailbox to find these!

Each child has their own signed photo/postcard mailed to them.  What kid doesn't love getting mail?  Ours love it!

If you are looking for a quick, easy way to kill some time with your kids this might just be it.  The address to mail them to is
