Goodbye Leah - Hello Sara....

Saturday afternoon we said goodbye to Leah. She was off to camp. This is her second year at the music camp. She loved it last year and the only thing she wanted to do this summer was go to the music camp. 

 Last Thursday (just one week before) we got an email from the camp telling us what was happening, what we needed to pack etc. Every year at the camp they hold a theme evening. Everyone dresses up and they have a big dinner.Last year the theme evening was Masquerade. Leah and I were in Ireland a few weeks before the camp and we were able to pick up a wonderful outfit for only £12.


Well this year the theme evening is Roman Times. So last Thursday evening I found an old white sheet and tried to make a costume. It was NOT a pretty sight. I gave up!!


I then tried looking at buying a costume on line. To buy a costume in Danmark was rather exspensive and to get one sent from England was not much cheaper - they were charging £19 for postage!!! I was in a bit of a panic.  It was then I thought of my dad. 


What if Elliots had a costume and he could go down and buy it and post it over to us? We went on line and found a costume for £10 in Elliots. I asked my dad to go and get it and send it over. He did and the problem was solved!! (Thanks dad!) The costume came on Friday afternoon (1 week later) Leah tried it on to see if it fit - it was perfect:-) Now she was all set for her Roman night!


 Today Sara arrived home from Barcelona. We went in to collect her from the airport but on the way stopped at one of the big shopping centres. As we were walking around we met Kristian´s cousin Jacob and his wife and wee girl. It was great to see them. Then it was in to get Sara.


It´s good to have her home agian, although my tidy house will now disappear. We have discovered over the last 2 weeks that Sara is the messy one (well we sort of knew that!) but it has been wonderful how tidy our whole house has been, especially the bathroom.
