Cheeky monkey in monkey pluggers

Well, well, well...Still not too much to say for myself. I'm definately living the low life lately.
This morning Jack & I went over to my friend Tricia's house for our Mum's & Bub's group. Jack had a fantastic time. They have swings, a slippery slide, a cubby house, chickens, painting, papercraft and a ride on Jeep (it's huge, like a car for kids, V cool)...everything a toddler loves. I got a couple of cute photos too. Here's Jack monkeying around on the rings.

And a gorgeous photo of Sofie sleeping, she looks like such a little angel with her beautiful little cupids bow lips and here dark eyelashes.

After that Jack and I went to Bunnings to exchange some paint and buy some plants. When I get around to it I have a piece of board I'm going to paint for the kitchen wall for a blackboard. On that Brothers & Sisters show in the mistress's house (I'm shocking with names) at the back of the kitchen they have a whole wall that's just chalkboard and I saw it in a house in the Country Living magazine as well. We thought of painting the little wall outside the kitchen but I decided it would just be too hard to try to explain to Jack that he was only allowed to draw on that particular wall so this board is going to go above the bench. I got a couple of plants today too. Now that our irrigation system is up and running and the garden is getting watered regularly it's starting to grow (surprise surprise) so I got a couple of plants to bush it up a bit. I got the most gorgeous tahitian gardenia. I never have any luck with gardenias but I'm really hoping this one will grow. I also got a tray of mondo grass for around the pot at our front entry.

Jack has a blister on the inside of his foot so when we were working in the garden this afternoon I put his pluggers/thongs on and I just couldn't resist taking a photo. They are so cute. Unfortunately they didn't stay on very well and every two seconds I had to stop whatever I was doing and go over to my crying child to re-adjust his thongs. I eventually gave up, grabbed the kid, left the plants in their pots and went inside.

Well that's it for another exciting day in our ever so exciting lives.

I'll just flash this award around though for everyone to see.
Thanks Sarah for nominating me and I'll nominate...
