They finally got their pirate clocks..

My kids, both who love Pirates of the Carribean movies, sent away with Kelloggs cereal for a Pirates of the Caribean alarm clock...

They were suppose to get them late last year, but with the overwhelming orders, they got a letter of apology and it said they would get them sometime in Feb..

Well I went down to the mail box and there they were, 2 boxes for each kid...They were so excited...

I remember sending away for things when I was a kid. Back then they had COD which stood for cash on delivery, you paid for the product, when the mail carrier delivered it..Of course today, that would be dangerous, unless they left the package at the post office to be paid for there..
But I remember well, ordering these albums, (yes, my age is showing,albums,COD),and jumping up and down as the mail carrier came with my package and I would see my Mom get her money to pay for it..What memories..:)

Do you have memories as a child, getting something in the mail? Are you old enough to remember COD or albums? Do you remember the excitement of finally getting what you ordered?
