Week 10

Week 10 = Errands, playdates, the flower carpet, but best of all...our VAN!  

They found it!!!  We are truly grateful because there are hundreds of mil families whose cars are "lost," due to the shipping contract changes that occurred this summer.  We are thankful our car finally made it, in good condition, and only a few weeks past its delivery deadline.  Others have it much worse.  Now to figure out how to park the thing around here...it's huge compared to the other cars on the road! 

Since our car screams American and it's huge, we opted NOT to drive it into downtown to see the flower carpet.  Instead, the kids and I embarked on our first train ride with friends.  We rode into downtown, saw the famous flower carpet in Grand Place, ate waffles and rode home.  3 moms, 9 kids...one grand adventure.

The entire "carpet" is created using grass, bark and flowers, mainly, begonias. It was beautiful!
