Excitement All Around

Soo exciting! I have a son who is capable of independently plumbing in a new filter tap when it needs replacing. In his jammies no less. 

And a daughter who is bendy and strong enough to do this.

For Geeky Husband, the Waterview tunnel finally opened.

And I got a bamboo drawer insert to replace my manky one, which totally turned my kitchen drawer into a lifestyle zone.

Thrilling, I know. Yep, we are all about this excited. 

You know Celeste Barber? Well this is us.

Tunnel Times

This guy has been waiting for this tunnel for so long. He was a happy chap.




This one was pretty happy to inspect the inside too.





The middle one not so much.




It was pretty rainy.

Shared Photos

oo I found a bunch of photos geeky husband shared with me, so these are out of order, but here is/was Anzac day. Such a beautiful place we live in.






We tried to do a panorama and be in it three times, but we ended up with a bunch of mutants. . .

Solar Tinkering

How to make my lovely L14 happy? BIGGER solar panel!




All hooked up to save the world. Or charge his phone.



Only problem is those pesky trees. Perfect way to get your teen gardening :)

Not Well

Stupid cold = day off. Miso and silly games with mama.

Spinners

Horrified at his sister's spendthrift ways, L14 made his own fidget spinner out of wood. And added an optional battery spinning back up. He's so awesome.

Holiday Days

Knitting a chunky beanie:

Staying in bed all day to finish a good book:

Wha...?!?!

Muuuuuuuummmm!!!

Finding a spot of late autumn sun to test his latest home made project - a solar powered phone charger.

Holidays. . .

are for giant room cleans of course!

L14 and I spent yesterday doing a huuuuuuge declutter as we got him a new desk and it all needed reworking to fill the storage cupboard he was desperate for. Got new chair today - he doesn't really have to perch on his drumstool, but I thought I'd better capture it before it's a tissue-strewn disaster zone again :)

 

Meanwhile P11 had her sights firmly set on the double bed from the spare room. My only problem was what might happen when M&B come next time? She wrote on a piece of paper and curled it around her father's toothbrush explaining that Bunce could sleep in her bed in the office, and Mutti could share with her. All sorted then. Sorry chaps.

Still Making. . .

Hiding Out

I don't get enough pictures of L14 now he's always hiding out in the man cave. I love your creativity L14, and the way you always want to try making new things and nut out all the problems by yourself.

Summer Tomatoes

P11 decided to make dinner from the garden, like she did last week at school. Good stuff, nom nom.

Show Pics!

First set of pics from technical rehearsal (so without the make up artists' magic). More to come!

Sunflowers

 I grow flowers taller than humans.
