The House

The night we got to New Brighton, Chrishtchurch we stayed in this tiny one room cottage thing that the lady we were renting from had in her back yard. We were staying there because the house that mommy had already rented was being fixed up and cleaned. We stayed there for one night and expected to move in the next day but they weren't done fixing it up. There was supposed to be only a few superficial cracks caused by the quakes but there ended up being holes in the roof and walls that they patched with plaster. The cracks that were actually superficial never got fixed. The house was full of dust so we could barely breath. It was gross. The house was supposed to be a 4 bedroom 2 bathroom but there were only two bedrooms that had tiny rooms branching off then  and the bathrooms were both incomplete. There is one the has only a bathtub, one with only a toilet, and the laundry room has a toilet and a shower in it. It is extremely weird. Despite all the complaining I am doing, The location is actually really great. There is a school within walking distance for Kayley, Sarah, and Zander and the library and grocery store are both blocks away. It is also right across the street from the beach. Because of some earchquake damage the water is off limits becasue it is full of poop. That kinda takes the fun out of it, but we can still walk on the sand anyway... We spend a ton of time in the library becasue it is like twice as warm as our house and we can actually breathe there. The time we spend at home is usually mealtimes and sleeping and maybe a little for watching movies. We couldn't work the TV at first but then we figured out how so its all better. The bad thing about that is that you have to pay extra for the sports channel and the movie channel so we don't have it. Daddy is freaking out because we cant watch rugby, but I am perfectly fine with watching normal TV shows. It is actually better because now daddy doesn't like to watch TV so we arent watching old Predator movies and rugby instead of the stuff we want to watch. Its also good because we dont have to spend 99% of the time watching him change the chanels... but i love my daddy anyway!!!! hahahahahahahaha
