The Past Week (in pictures):

I brought this table up for the kids when Andrew was away on one of his conferences. The kids liked having the treat of eating at their little table. They're back to having most meals at the family table, but every once in a while we do lunch down here. Rather cosy, and close to the tv. Which is great for those meals where you can't decide if it's better to feed them or put them down for a nap...

This is where we all prefer to eat. We love our balcony! This was Wednesday when we bbq'd burgers with Uncle Dave. The kids roasted marshmallows. Then left the cooked ones and only ate the raw ones.


I've been spending all of my free time outdoors. This is the only spot that's more or less finished now. But I'm having a great time with all my digging and weeding and trimming and planting!

Friday night we went to the park. Unfortunately there were two middle aged (hah, my aged) guys there smoking weed and a couple in the midst of world war three (while their poor kids were playing with our kids) so it wasn't exactly the relaxing evening I hoped for. But our kids didn't seem to notice.




We have two or three of these growing in our back yard. I think they're wild since there's also one or two growing between the hedge and fence on the property line. Mum, are they lilac???


Classic Tinker face!

And the daveyboy.
