Around the world in a teabag!

Photos I forgot to post yesterday

For Christmas I bought Huffle lots of different teas to try. Every morning he gives us a taste of the tea of the day. Today's was called Emperor Pu-er. The boys were disgusted he was drinking the Emperor's poo! It wasn't a great one but was full of antioxidants.

Just in case the power cut affected us again, we all had showers and then filled the bath with water. Better to be safe than sorry. After breakfast we cleared away presents, put the boys new clothes away after cutting off tags etc, swept the floors of endless pine needles - arrrrggggh - we have not had this problem with needles falling before. They are everywhere! We gave ourselves a break and went off to the Five Pin Bowling Alley.

We pretty much had the place to ourselves for the first game. We all exceeded our personal best and were very happy with our improvement. However the second game, I lost (being beaten by both the boys and Moo - tut tut).

It was a lot of fun and we snook some Quality Street in for 'energy'. After we finished there we drove to the supermarket and picked up a few essentials and then on to the Tire where we purchased lots of storage boxes. We came home and made dinner. Our lunches and dinners are getting later and later!

Once home we sorted the lego into the new storage drawers for the boys and put them in their bedrooms which Moo had busily sorted this morning. After dinner we started on the basement. When we moved here over two years ago, the previous owners left a falling down wardrobe (cheap melamine one) down there and we used it to put all our pots and pans and spare stuff in it. Everytime you put something away it leaned a bit more and we were worried it would just all collapse. Plus it looked like the mice had been having a party in there. So we started packing up the storage boxes, throwing away stuff we didn't want, putting in a charity bag for things they might want and adding to a 'garage sale' box for the summer.

It took a lot of work and the boys played on the wii while we toiled away. All was boxed, the basement swept and vaccuumed and we came upstairs to start on the understair cupboard. Goodness this house has had a right Spring Clean already!
