Yesterday the kids and I played post office, which usually keeps us busy for quite awhile.  Martin set up an empty diet coke box as our mail drop box, using the handle area as the mail slot.  We sat down and wrote a few letters and Sophie placed our sticker stamps on the outside of each letter.  After we'd written quite a few, Martin switched from his job as letter writer to post office worker.  He picked up all of our mail and delivered it to us from an empty Lego bin.  After he'd delivered all of the mail, we opened each piece and read them. 

In this batch of mail, there were the usual letters from me to Martin, Martin to Sophie, Sophie to me, but there were also two letters I hadn't seen before.

Letter 1:
"Dear God, I hope you have a fun week.  Love, Martin."

Letter 2:
"Dear Momma, I know you love me.  From The Mailman."



Good thing that these letters have to be translated, otherwise Marty might wonder what was going on while he was out of town.
