Mad March

out with the old and in with the new (kitchen that is) and Gran Irene's birthday.

This week the old kitchen finally bit the dust and we moved into the new kitchen - as I write I am sitting at our dining room table in what used to be the garden.

Just in case you have forgotten how bad our old kitchen was - here are some photos to remind you

So imagine our excitement to see it finally leave us forever and a new door get installed to the side o the house.

So things have moved pretty fast this month but we expect things to really kick on from here - the old kitchen is soon to become a utility room and a downstairs shower room. More on that next week.

To finish this week we had a celebration today at ours for Gran Irene who was 21 again today - Happy Birthday Mum xxx

going potty

It's been a long winter and we have all been going a little bit potty however Lauchlan has been going the mot potty and now no longer wears nappies during the day - just almost kind of all of a sudden. It has been quite incredible but then our kids never cease to amaze us.

Sophie has recently been telling me all about the solar system with information about how Pluto is a dwarf planet and is no longer counted a one of the 8 big planets in the Milky Way. I absolutely love the fact t she gives a monkeys about things like planets - well done Sophie.

Building work continues and will drag on until the end of March at the earliest - it has been a long slog but is starting to look really good.

The kids continue to play builders and have lots of fun with pencils behind their ears but I am sure they will also be glad when it's all over and we can get out in the garden again to look for snails. We recently go out to a zoo and the most popular things at the zoo were some old diggers, a train and some bumper cars.
