boxes

Yippee!  Two months after we packed up (well the kind removalists) packed up all our stuff it has arrived!  It was a pretty chilly minus 12 degrees when the trucks rolled up but the sun was shinning so everyone got to work!  The five removalists were all French speaking with varying English abilities.  This led to some funny moments of miscommunication and interpretation.  I'll admit my French is pretty good but one of the guy's Quebecer accent was so strong I had no idea what he was saying and of course he had zero English!

So now we're drowning in boxes!  All the furniture is in place and the tricky business of finding a home for all our stuff begins!  The kids were super excited to rediscover their toys and we were all very pleased to sleep in our own beds again.

While I still love my white on white decorating style we figured it wasn't going to work so well with lots of wood trim so we're adding some colour.  We've got new covers for the old couches and will add some more colour with new curtains and cushions etc...  We're going for blue with touches of pink.  (I say we but Fanta Pants doesn't get much of say in it and doesn't seem to mind!).  If you think blue and pink sounds a bit fruity check out http://www.absolutelybeautifulthings.blogspot.com/ for where the inspiration came from.

If you look carefully you'll see Baby A sleeping on his mat.  He's still got a cold but he has always been so good at  staying asleep from the car after we drop Little Miss D off at preschool.
