The Crazy Adventures of the Ness Boys

Howdy folks!

Wade here letting everyone know that we’re having our first Halloween in Aussie land.  We have some mixed messages about Halloween in these parts, not many decorations and the pumpkins are decidedly absent.  However, we see some pictures of events and kids that are dressed and trick-or-treating.  Not to be absent from one of the kids favorite nights, we’re holding a scavenger hunt that will guarantee candy to our tots – with an option (should the opportunity present itself) for the trick-or-treating.  We’ll post some pics when we get there.

As to life in general, had my first phone interview for a teaching position on Friday.  I don’t really see anyone more qualified, but we’ll see.  Strangely enough they were concerned about an hour commute, weird.

Now on to that Pestilence thing in the title of the post.  Apparently, the bugs here have been waiting, no….plotting…  to get me for many years.  Their trap is sprung, and my legs and arms look like I’m a plague victim.  I’d post pictures, but I think the Australian Government might actually quarantine me.  I have been assured that everyone goes through this, acclimation.  I do not take much solace in this, and hope that I can catch up on my sleep.

Well, Good day Mate!

Our “stuff” finally arrived and we’re mostly unpacked. We didn’t ship much, but there were quite a few important creature comforts in those boxes. The kids were quick to unpack their favorite blankets and their stuffed animals and I was quick to make sure my rocking chair was put in a good corner for reading. Wade was just happy to have his computer back!

Spring time has begun here in Rainbow Beach. We’ve had some amazing thunderstorms that shook the windows and scared the kids. The rain comes and goes almost daily in dramatic phases. It’s hard to describe just how loud the rainstorms are!

A power converter for my sewing machine is on it’s way so here soon I’ll be back to quilting. In the meantime the kids still need their home school lessons, I still need to catch up on a lot of reading and Wade needs to enjoy this brief period of unemployment. Life will get hectic soon enough!

On a great side-note, Wade’s Dad is recovering against medical odds.  We’re very happy to hear his voice and know that he’s at home and doing alright.  Hopefully we have many more laughs with him to come.

Cheers!

Aus is great but it’s a little deferent than I expected. I’ve been playing solders outside with Fletcher, I’ve been playing Soccer ball with dad and Fletcher , and knights with Fletcher, and every thing vs every thing with Fletcher, and I go on adventures with Fletcher and dad and I draw (sometimes with Fletcher and sometimes with just me). Me and Fletcher were planning on building a tree house but that changed a lot. I’ve been to the lagoon, the beach, Gympy, Brisbane , maryburo, Fraser Island (once).
