My boredom didn't last long, and yes, it probably is because my sister, my only sister, my bestest friend (well, along with Kim), is half a world away in Norway....I am glad she is having a good time, we will have go out to lunch when she comes back so she can tell me everything. And hopefully she will tell me soon if I am picking them up from the airport, and what day and time....and hopefully she remembers that my birthday is coming up and all I want is a European doll pram....ha.
Today we are going to our friends' house to swim in their pool. Their pool has a diving board! The kids are so excited. Evelyn and I got up this morning and went to the small grocery store in the local village to get bread and turkey and tomatoes and ice and chips for lunch. We are 95% ready to go....the kids are all in their suits, now it is up to me to get moving again and pack the coolers.....
I wish wish wish I had my camera...I realize how boring it probably is to read this with no pictures.....so for now, my descriptions will have to do. The kids have turned on the television to a program about locomotives in Europe, history, scenery...quite fascinating. Right now it is featuring The Orient Express. Very interesting....
Suze has her suit on and a sweet little sundress over it, SK is playing paddleball, Kap is brushing her hair, Charlotte Claire is also brushing hers in hopes that she gets it right and no one will "fix" it for her, Jonathan is watching the show with too much interest, sucking his thumb, Mali is playing SIMS on the computer, Camille is riding a tricycle in the kitchen in her little pink and white suit....Rosie is under my feet. Joseph is playing his guitar, Ben is sleeping. Evelyn is all ready, bugging me to get moving. Margaret went with some friends to a waterfalls park, with the two Norwegian girls who are visiting.
So....I think I will spare my children the agony of waiting for me any longer.....
