Our 'Stuff'

I called the moving company yesterday for a status update on the remainder of our 'stuff.' We were supposed to have gotten it today. Um....yeah.

The phone was answered by Miss-Happy-Chirps-a-Lot who seemed surprised to hear from me. She brightly told me that the driver was picking up the remainder of our 'load' today, as if I should feel delighted and grateful to hear this news.

"OK? Thank you for calling!" she chirped.
"Could you please tell me when you plan to DELIVER our 'load?' I asked, irritated that she hadn't even thought to give me this information.
"Oh. Just a minute. I will have to check."
Grrrrr....

After a long pause, she finally came back and chirped again, "It will be there on Wednesday!"
"Oh. wooooow." I said in disgust.
"Well, I can speak to the driver and see if he can deliver it to you any sooner. Maybe I can work that out," she chirped, with that same, 'you-are-so-lucky-to-have-me-in-your-corner' tone.

She never once said, "I'm so sorry that it has taken us so long to get your LOAD to you." And so...since they don't seem to need customers very badly, I'll let you know that we used Allied Van Lines.

So, without sandbox, swingset, playhouse, etc., the kids have been continuing to have fun in the Redneck Theme Park.

Jordan is all business

Zoey...our little tomboy

Ryan noticed that Katie-bug couldn't join the fun because she is just a bit too fragile for tearing down a hill at breakneck speed, so he got the lawn tractor out and drove her around the yard for awhile. Awwww.....

We then went to the pond

to feed the swans

Posing nicely

We found a patch of blueberries and the kids swarmed on them like a plague of locusts (cute locusts, though....)

And speaking of locusts...

SaraGrace caught these and made them kiss each other

What an imp!
