Last night was weird. They had issued a strong wind warning for the island yesterday - winds up to 60miles p/h. When we went to bed it didn't seem like there was anything coming so we went to sleep without another thought. Then, at about 3am i woke up suddenly, woke up tui and turned my head to watch our bookshelf that stands between our room and the lounge be blown over by the wind and come crashing down onto our table. Crash band smash went all our photo frames, books, board games, a vase, you name it. Of course everything made of glass was on that shelf. So this morning after Tui went to class i had the delightful job of cleaning up all the glass and mess. Luckily i have great neighbors who were willing to watch Malachi while i cleaned (thanks Brooke and Sam). Now we are reconsidering our house arrangement; i'm deathly affriad of something falling on my son.
I would put up pictures but our camera is MIA (meaning, we think we left it on the roof of our car when we were at the beach last week but i'm in denial about the whole thing and keep hoping it'll magically turn up somewhere.) so we don't have any pictures of it. Just use your imagaination.
It was definately the most interesting night we've had, except possibly the night i went into labour. That maybe a close second. But this is one night that i hope won't happen again.
And if you come to my house and there aren't any pictures of you on my wall, they're probably in the rubbish amoungst a pile of glass.
