Brooklyn's new dresser - finished!

Here is our finished product!

A girly painting project!

I decided it was about time to re paint Brooklyn's dresser drawers since they are now covered with scribble, stickers, stamps and other letters. Brooklyn is growing up too fast and told me she would like new drawers because she was too old to look at her 'baby scribble'. So instead of chucking them out, we took a trip to Bunnings and bought some sample pots in Brooklyns favourite colours.

We then stayed up late one night and painted them together out the back! It was a great experience.

The fruits of our labour!

After Shot:::

What a finish. For some people who have never tiled before, there was not one tile out of place with a nice smooth finish. It's only taken us almost two years to get around to doing it!!!

Jason and I discover we can tile.....

It's amazing what you can acheive with a little reading, asking some experts and being patient. Whilst Jason was on holidays for 3 weeks, we attempted to tile our kitchen splashback. Taking it real slow and Jason being the perfectionist he is, he did a fantastic job!

Jason bought all the tools and now has a collection of tools for tiling as well as plastering, painting and plumbing! Gotta love my handyman!

Being ever so patient!

We'll show you the finished product shortly!

Christmas outdoors...........

Charlotte takes her first drive around the backyard.

We also received a new basketball ring and basketballs for Christmas from Grandma and Grandpa McDonald. I'm not excatly sure who is enjoying the present more, Jason or the kids. Cause Jason originally set the ring at the highest so he could play! But the kids had no chance of making a basket!!!!

Now the kids have a go....

Merry Christmas!!!

Up, Up and Away.............

Look what we found in our backyard this morning! As part of our christmas present from all the grandparents, we were able to purchase a huge trampoline that can take the weight of everyone at once! It's huge and it's one of the only things they do outside of late apart from the new basketball ring as well. The kids love outdoors time now!

Daddy getting excited!
Charlotte gives it a go. Yeh!

Too tired now, just relaxing!

Christmas is here!

Well Christmas morning was quite respectable this year with the kids getting up at 6am - better than I thought! We'd gotten to bed at around 1am Christmas Eve so we were alittle deflated inside! Merry Christmas from Jason, Brooklyn and Jacob - showing off some pressie! We have to put a sign in our yards these days to alert people that we are using tank water on the water restriction days otherwise our neighbours can call the council. So I found a nice one to put in the front garden!
Playing a game of Whack the Mole! Charlottes ready and we're getting the batteries in!

Yeah! Charlottes upgraded to a trike now! She got her new sunhat as well!

Jacob's favourite present was from Roary the Racing car. He has a remote control and Jacob runs him up and down the hallway!

Brooklyn's into her footy team - Melbourne Demons, ready for next season!

Merry Christmas to everyone. We love you!
