8 mths

8 months after arriving in Denver Brett finally had to unpack his belongings yesterday, so he could organize his room, ready to move to his college dorm in Boulder in less than 3 weeks time:

 We can't believe he actually had stuff still wrapped in movers butchers paper! Then he needed ice cream to recover from the effort:

Some more fun finds in American shops:

HUGE pepsi 750mls may be going overboard for 1 can!

Who eats pomegranate and white cheddar chips?

 Matt thought quilting magazines were boring, there is something worse:

 Even Tic Tac packets are huge here:

 My M & Ms were extremely disappointing this week, this is just one handful, but all the others were similar. I discovered that the different colors do taste different because when you get a packet that is predominantly green they taste like moose droppings:

 Back to school specials are out in the shops atm, this is an example 100 sheets of binder paper for 1c:

 When leaving Walmart never be surprised if the lady packing her car with groceries is wearing her PJs. Seriously this is fairly commonplace:

This is Ikea on Saturday morning at about 11am , NO CUSTOMERS, eat your heart out Perth shoppers:)

 One of our favorite things about Denver atm though is the weather, it is warm in the mornings but almost every afternoon we get a thunderstorm to cool things off, we hardly ever use the air-con, it is wonderful!
