House update



The lawn was laid today and so was the limestone out the back. It makes such a difference and I finally feel like we're actually living in a house, not a giant sandpit! And I'll finally be able to stop vacuuming 3 times a day (seriously) because of the cat and dog dragging sand in from the back yard. That pipe sticking up behind the pool will eventually be the water feature (we're probably going to go with a water blade and stacked stone. We'll have a small (very small) bit of lawn at the side of the pool for Kate to play on, but luckily we have a park across the road.

The pool has arrived!

We had the hole dug yesterday and at lunchtime today the trucks and crane arrived to lift the pool over the house into the back yard. It's finally here!

Assembly today......


Kate's class had their assembly item today. They've been studying dinosaurs for this term and I think she's all dinosaur'ed (is that even a word)? out. "Mum, why do we have to do BOYS things for"?! If she had her way, it would be pink pink pink everything till the world ended. Hmmm maybe that's why dinosaurs went into extinction. There were no pink ones to save.

Well done Kate!

Wedding

Forgot to upload some pics from Aunty Kris's wedding. Gorgeous day, she looked absolutely beautiful, as did Kate :) House is going great. Haven't had any time to update the blog with pics, will get around to it. Just getting stuff done around the house takes up most of my time.

We're in!

Things are still all over the place and lots more unpacking to do, but here are a couple of pics. (Ignore my laundry on the bench) I'll take some of the games room and theatre room another day. There is the study ,family room and two other bedrooms also, but you don't need to see the whole house right? Still to do the skirting boards on all the tiled areas. AND the landscaping outside. AND we're waiting on the pelmets for the windows still. And hang our pictures up. We'll get there eventually.
