It was just after lunchtime on Saturday. The Cheng Household seemed eerily calm. But at around 1:30pm, a loud rumbling appeared to be approaching at a rapid pace. The brothers ran for cover, one had anticipated the attack and was already in the Library seeking shelter and the other one locked himself in his room. The sisters however, came prepared for the event and armed themselves with a mess high in carbohydrates and simple sugars. And then it happened - the Op Shop gave birth in the Living Room.
After weeks of anticipation, the Clothes Swap finally arrived today! And I have to say, it was a great success! Not only did we have enough clothes to dress an army of young girls, but we also managed to: find a few little things for ourselves, hang out with fellow sisters in Christ, play DRESS-UPS!, enjoy some afternoon tea (including Krispy Kremes straight from Melby!! - Lovingly couriered over by the lovely Sel-Belle :D), and help the Good Sammy's with a significant donation later that night before we went for coffee (so we can go back there one day and buy them back at the Op Shop haha!).
It was so much fun.
Here are some pics from today... We are SOOOO doing this again!
