They arrived!

My aunts arrived from PE via London...last night. They got in at 2am in the am....wild flight. Shame they couldn't even sleep late with a over excited three year old making an enormous racket from early. He was SO excited to see them.

I am going to be spending all of today packing our suitcases. We leave for London on the 9am flight tomorrow......that means an early start...YIKES!!! The tricky part is going to be working out where to pack all my DELICIOUS stash!
*Stamps
*Maya road mini albums
* Paper~ American crafts, SEI & KI {I am in love with it all!!!}
* American craft thickers in all sorts of colours
*etc, etc
These are some L.O's off the AC web site....cool hey!





I had a ball buying it all, although I was hoping to get Hambly too but you can't get it here...too expensive to import apparently.
Anyhow I must go & pack. I will post again from London.

Bye!

Venturing out.

We ventured out today & did the tourist thing @ Niagra Falls It was mind-blowingly beautiful!! The stark contrasts & sheer power was something my photo's don't really do justice to.





As you can see from the pic's it was BLOODY cold...I thought I was going to get hyperthermia.

Afterward we were treated to the most delicious burgers I have ever tasted, from a burger joint called Licks {apt name believe me, I had sauce everywhere} ...my waist line is now officially on vacation.



Max was less than enthusiastic about posing for the camera...as usual!

This is Max actually eating something...& I caught it on camera. The moment was short lived tho', after this pic, all his food sat on the table untouched....it seriously stresses me out!!! Are all 3yr olds like this???? How he grows & florishes I have no idea....juice, rough & tumble & an odd snack thrown in for good measure every now & then, constitutes his nutrition. I wonder if he will ever get to master a knife & fork, seeing as he gets NO opportunity to practise.

Nitey-nite guys, I will try and post again tomorrow!

For your ears only!

Hey Mumsy & Pop's....things have been so mixed up here with the time zones that we haven't even connected yet. We then decided to pick up the phone to chat, realised it was the middle of the night, then thought we'd SMS & realised Canada has a different plug system here......bought an adapter today & cell phone is now on charge. We had absolutely no time to phone when we landed @ Heathrow on our way here. By the time we got to the correct terminal {3} & got to the departure hall, we were notified that our flight to Toronto had started bording already. We caught a lift with one of those travel carts with a driver & flashing light & made it by the skin of our teeth. All our well meaning plans to buy a phone card & shop @ duty free went to pot!! Poor Maxi was promptly strapped back in his chair and made to endure another 8hrs, with no repreave. That little boy was a star...all things considered. We were being prayed for, I could feel it. Thanks everyone who sent up a prayer for us, cos they were answered.

We will hopefully get it right tommorrow.....whhooowhoo maybe even skype! P.S Maxi went beserk at Walmart today, they had "Cars's" characters.....tons of them. I don't know who was more excited us or Max & get this? They were only $2.86 each....back in SA they are R60 each!!! Things are SO much cheaper here. We bought a camera too...a compact with so many capabilities that I am sure it will give voice commands if I give it half a chance. It too is on charge, so by tomorrow I will be able to post some pic's.

Mel, Stef, Jo, Joscie, Martha, Liz & Samantha.....I have quickly popped onto all your blogs to catch up but haven't time to post comments as yet. I will when I get a gap. Glad you are all
A-OK!

Love as always
KJ & Crew from the snowy north {loving everry freezing minute of it}....signing out!

P.S Stood in falling snow today....quite a picture seeing Tersh & Max...mouths open, faces to sky trying in vain to catch a snow flake on their tongues.
