First, we have extended the deadline for thank-you posts to Oct. 1st. You will still be entered into the contest if you post by then. The prize is a $50.00 gift card to the Box Tops for Education's Marketplace On-line Store, which will be generously donated by Box Tops for Education.

Second, everyone should have received an e-mail with a quick survey asking how this swap was for you and your family. Please take a few minutes to fill it out and e-mail it back to us.

Lastly, Jill (a participant in this swap), is hosting a fall swap for kids called One Good Book. We love her idea of having each participant choose a book to send to their partner along with goodies related to the story. Check it out! The deadline to sign up is September 18.

Happy Fall!

Good bye Lollie, Hello Elmer

Although we were very sad to see Lollie go...

We got a box!

Now we have Elmer! Thank you Zoe and Erika for all the fun suprises and Elmer! He has already been roaming around the house and I am sure he will be exploring the great outdoors tomorrow! Thanks for bringing us along for your summer!

Bunny Fun!

A couple days ago, our package from Nature Girl arrived! What a fabulous surprise it was! She and her mamma Jill went all out! Bunny came with accessories! (Hmm, someone must have known that little girls like accessories!) Pirate stuff, princess stuff, tutu stuff, she had it all! They also included some great books, a mini bowling set, dice games, and all kinds of little things. Hours and hours of fun, in mom-language.


Thank you for your precious package. Thank you ladies for getting this all together. And thanks Nature Girl!

Your hand written thank you note is on it's way!
Hope you have a fantastic fall season up in beautiful leaf land!

The Dancing Robots

Thank You ...This is Why Kid Swaps are the Best!

Thank you to The Mom, The Dancer & The Robot They were our partners for this swap. We had a great time taking Adventure Bunny around on our summer travels. We were a little sad to see her go but when our new softie friend arrived yesterday my daughter was excited!

This is the moment she saw her new friend!

The first hug!

After reading about Daffodil's summer adventures and her love of ice tea my daughter insisted we give her some ice tea. She was excited to feed Daffodil Love Bunny carrots and ice tea. She was even more excited that she got to sit in the middle of our table for the picture.
Thank you Karah and kids for our new bunny friend!

My Thank You's

I am not officially participating this round but as a hostess wanted to say thank you to all of you for doing what you need to do to make the swap run smooth.

A big thank you to Melissa for running this swap solo since the end of June when I went on my extended babymoon. You are doing a great job!

Final Contest

For the final contest all you need to do is post a thank-you to your swap partner, which was already a requirement of the swap anyway, but a little extra incentive never hurts! If you can, include a picture of your kids unwrapping their package or a pic of your loot. Since everyone should send their packages out by August 31st, we will make the deadline for the contest September 10th.

Also, please let us know if you encounter any problems in completing the swap--we want to make sure everyone has a great experience and that there are no disappointed kiddos.

Drum Roll Please...

And the winner of the July contest is.... The mom, the robot and the dancer!


It was so fun seeing everyone's travelling buddies and the summer adventures everyone is having. Thanks to everyone who did a post!

Look for rules for the final contest later this week.
