Stuff & Nonsense

so in case you haven't all read it on Renette's blog suppose i better let you know that our container arrived last week thursday, ok, so it was not actually the container but a truck with all our worldy possessions in it - with only 2 guys to carry it all in to our little house, which is way too small for everything - WE HAVE A LOT OF STUFF !! it is mostly all unpacked for which i am very proud of myself. practically nothing was damaged other than deon's remote control plane (ag shame) and the wooden leg on my mirror - so suitably impressed with Stuttafords.

The Noodle opening his favourite car and then riding it again after 3 months
it is really great to have everything here - to sleep on a BED with our pillows and to sit on our COUCH - to dry the dishes on a drying rack - dishwasher not yet installed - anybody know a plumber ;) and to have some more shoes and clothes is also great - deon is thrilled to have all his stuff and has kitted out the garage as a fishing/hunting/camping/remote car,plane,chopper/tool shed and spends LOTS of time in there .....
the noodle is still overwhelmed with all his toys and his room is definately not big enough for them all so a purge is necessary some time in the not too distant future.....



XMAS/HANNUKAH 2008
so in the true tradition of a bipolar family, no wait that's not what we are, a bi-cultural family - ok, that's better, we did the xmas tree and menorah thingy this week - much to david's delight :)
but i must tell you that i think his jewish genes might be slightly stronger as he was petrified of Father Xmas who arrived at Playcentre today and insisted on going outside and playing instead of staying in to get a present from the Big Man - i dunno, you decide ....
anyway, Merry Xmas, Happy Hannukah and Great New Year to you All
much love all of us here
