at about 8:30 this morning our doorbell rang. upon opening the front door, the girls and i discovered a big white styrofoam box. hmmm... this looks interesting. you may recall that i have a thing for receiving packages. (the girls seem to have inherited this same trait from their momma.) i digress. anyways, we were all pretty eager to see what the intriguing box contained. the box proved to NOT disappoint. if i had known what we were about to discover, i promise i would have taken pictures. the looks on their faces were priceless! they were certainly in package heaven... shock... utter disbelief... amazement... joy!
and we had so much fun with our new friends today! we took pictures, we touched them and examined their body parts (poor guys were in an ice coma). eventually i retired them to them to the garage (to await their inevitable fate... ahhh the perks of being at the top of the food chain). however, the girls did not forget they were out there. throughout the day we visited them several times. first, ellie had to show them off to our babysitter. then, she had a few friends over and wanted to show them off to her gal pals. later, delaney brought me a barbie and said she wanted to give it to the "lobers". several times, i caught delaney trying to get out there and check on them. it was a hoot! she kept saying, "momma, lobers scary!"
and for dinner, we had "lobers". and they were the most delicious lobers we have ever had! it was so much fun. even delaney enjoyed them and kept asking for more "dip" (drawn butter).

thanks aunt merritt, uncle jon and our new good friends at lobstergram (who knew?)... sure beats leftover ham any day!
