I ordered a fairly large gift for Mayra from Amazon. Their website showed that they shipped it Fedex, and it was due for delivery today. I watched the tracking screen on and off all day, hoping that if it was delivered fairly early, I could dash home, remove large box with huge pictures of the contents from the front step and take it to work to hide it there.
What are the chances of that happening? Why none, of course.
So we're driving home after gymnastics, and I am hoping for a doortag, thinking I can call them tonight and pick up tomorrow after I drop Mayra off at preschool. Plan B would be for me to scoot the car ito the garage and sneak outside after Mayra is asleep and try to figure out someplace to hide the box indoors.
Guess what really happened?
get to the end of the driveway, only to see the large box with big pictures of the giddy up n go pony sitting on the driveway, in between us and the garage door. It had a plastic bag over it (gloomy, rainy weather here, yuck) but you could clearly see the pictures.
I tell Mayra to just stay in the car and watch her video, then skulk up the driveway, wrestle the bulky box into the house and stash it in our rarely used living room which conveniently doesn't have any plugged in light source.
I try to look nonchalant when I get back to the car, but as I start the car to pull into the garage, a voice from the back seat says:
"Santa starts with S..."
