Living here, it is almost like starting over again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BIG Kids  and grandkids !
Got a call from Dan who was at work in Auckland this morning and I was still in bed even tho.  it was 08:30 !   He had a big parcel to go to ChCh.  ( Green Fern stuff )   and the courier was calling any time at the house to pick it up  ..... and the parcel needed a new label and Bonnie was not answering her phone and anyway her printer did not work..........Can I print out the labels as he emailed to me and go down and fix them to the parcel  !
Such a hassle as it was pouring down and my car is in the garage getting the scrape fixed so I had to put on my wellies and walk down with the sellotape and scissors and attach the labels !
I did ring Bonnie earlier and no answer then she took off to school so I know  she was busy with the 3 kids !  Anyway I did talk to Bonnie later and I had seen the courier arrive and I Did hear her moaning to him about her husband !!!!! The parcel went off OK.

OH DEAR, even the big kids can require immediate attention and even when you are in bed.  I always say "what would they do without you?"
I guess Bonnie really was busy this time.  What was she complaining about?  Dan does all or most of the cooking, doesn't he?

Oh my goodness, that sounds so much like Robert when he started the business up, always ringing and asking me to do such and such :) I agree with Linda, what would they do without you ((((((((((Moira)))))))))) Why wasn't Bonnie answering her phone????????

Bonnie was not answering her phone as she was getting the kids dressed and ready for school and Kindy !!!!! She does the lunches the night before but really and  truly the boys are hopeless ! Yes I know, never been taught to dress them selves properly !!!!
I could not actually hear everything Bonnie was saying to the courier driver but she was obviously complaining about Dan and the driver was laughing ! Dan does the cooking for himself and Bonnie sometimes at night when he gets home from work. He is a fussy eater, always has been ..... and Bonnie is not the best cook ! The kids get whatever Bonnie cooks.
So Robert did things like this when he first started the business ? Good job you answered the phone !!!

Well, at least the courier driver got entertained with whatever Bonnie was telling about Dan.  She probably doesn't have any room to talk, I know she doesn't do all that much herself.  I would never not answer the phone, but that's me and Bonnie is Bonnie.  She could lay their clothes out the night before and surely the boys could get them on and maybe she could help a little but it shouldn't be that big a problem, but maybe I am just forgetting.

At least Bonnie has the lunches made the night before, I used to do that too. I do remember how chaotic mornings were and how often one of the girls forgot to tell me they needed whatever for school today and the frantic search for whatever. No, mornings when the girls were younger at school were not fun!! In this instance I don't blame Bonnie for not answering the phone.

Oh  yes, mornings were hectic but I got early and maybe that helped, I don't know.  I'm sure I was mind boggled many mornings but I still would never have ignored the phone.

I cannot remember making the kids lunch the night before .... maybe I did if I needed 4 of them !  I will have to ask one of them ! I am sure Dan will remember ! Today Cash had a 'Shared lunch Day'  for his class and yesterday Bonnie made a mince pie for him to take but after rugby practice last night , they ate it for dinner !!!!!!!!!  Today after her boxing class fitness thing she went to the nice fresh bread shop and bought one of their pies so she could drop it off to Cash in school at lunch time !
Also apparently the Courier driver went down the next door drive ( The police couple  ) and asked if they were the people with a marijuana package to pick up !!!! Melissa sent them next door to Bonnies and he asked the same thing !!!!!  IN the package to go back was a special machine  ... something to do with Green Fern    ( Dan's etc. medicinal marijuana business ! )
I have to say Bonnie did reply to my message when she noticed she had missed a call from me .... that is good as far as I am concerned :)

I know, but luckily Liam and Melissa know about Dan and Green Fern !
The boys said Mummy's mice pie was delicious !  Bonnie rarely makes mince pies ! They usually get fish and chips on Wednesday after practice !

BWAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.................I'm glad that Bonnie makes a tasty "mice pie"!  Sorry, but I did have to chuckle. 
It's good the police neighbors knew about Dan's business, otherwise they might have come right over to investigate!
