Our house is currently quite a Smorgasbord of odds and ends right now. We have loaner furniture from the Base. We have a friend's portable DVD player as our only source electronic entertainment. (Our's broke!) We have our tiny little laptop to communicate with our world back in America. We borrowed a microwave. We've borrowed toys. We've checked books out at the library. We have random squares of carpet that were pulled out of someone else's house when they moved out. We have clothes at a minimum. We have only one garbage can so I decided to pull one of our big garbage cans up onto the back porch to help in the absence.
And with everything so different, I'm forced to try to make "new" fun for my kids. To come up with different things for us to do. And here, are some of the things that the recesses of my mind and creativity brought them:

Putting the two loaner chairs we are allotted makes a very cool boat. Time to play "Pirates!"
When the boat got too small, we decided to make two boats using our loaner couch. It even had cushion "stairs" leading out.
Our neighbor behind us, Christina, is back in the States. So (with her permission of course) we decided to bring some of their backyard toys into our backyard. The kids have LOVED playing house outside. Here is Elijah with another friend, Dylan. And Abigail is thrilled to be outside -- as long as she has her brothers to entertain her.

It looks like they are enjoying themselves despite the sudden lack of "stuff" :) Hopefully everything will be delivered before you get to your new place.
