More pretties, really??

Yesterday after a busy day shopping for nappy covers and sheets for my poo obsessed toddler (don't ask) my lovely hubby brought these in from the garden, then took the boys out to play in the pool, he knew I'd want to take pictures of them without sticky fingers.

I had no idea we had such gorgeous flowers in the yard. I am defiantly going looking for more once these wilt. The boys always bring me in dandelions or wet the beds. Thanks guys.

He always knows how to cheer me up. I guess that's why he's my husband.

More Pretties!

I did say  last week I have become all about making the house prettier, well here is my purchase for today. I am becoming such a miners wife. Spend spend spend!

Our lounge room is mostly brown and green so when I saw this I couldn't resist. Every clock we own has been damaged due to moving so it will be nice not to have to check my phone/the austar box/the microwave to know the time!

Best brand name I think I've ever seen.

I missed a day of NaBloWriMo. Am I surprised? Not really, but I thought it would take longer than THREE days!

Yesterday I had extra kids from 8am, got Jack off to school, kept four little boys fed and happy and organised four naps at different times for four different boys, got them up dressed and out the door (to their parents) just before 3pm so James could get to swimming lessons on time. Then a quick trip to pick Jack up from a friends after school, supermarket run, back to the pool for Jack's swimming lesson, baths for my three, dinner time.

Are you tired yet? Can you see why I didn't make it to my computer yesterday? Good. I'll stop explaining myself.

This is what I should be doing (I have 5 loads of washing staring at me, waiting to be folded). But I'm not.

Instead I'm daydreaming. You see on Friday Michael and I will come into some serious money. When Michael took this job they said they would pay for us to move back to QLD but the deal was we paid them back a little every pay and after 2 whole years if you still work for the company they give it all back to you! Makes sense doesn't it? The strangest system I've ever heard of but I guess it works.

Now although  paying off our debts and layby's and all the proper grown up things is what we should do, we have been talking about doing something crazy and blowing the lot on a seriously awesome holiday and some seriously awesome shopping.

I know the sensible gene will click in when there is a stack of money in our account but for now it's nice to dream....

Now that Charlie has six teeth with fourteen (oh brother) more on the way I knew it was time for a big boy tooth brush.

He wasn't sure what it was to start with

So he figured like everything else it should go in the mouth.

He did a pretty good job, although he probably did chew on it more than anything. 

I couldn't help myself. They looked so cute together.

Oh pretty...

   (shop)

Admit to me these are the coolest bookends you've ever seen. I had a very hard time stopping myself from buying them or these. Or the whole shop really.

I am all about making the house beautiful lately. I want to shop shop shop. So expect a few more of these posts.
