Busy weekend!

Just realised we've been bad bloggers! Set up our blog and then abandoned it pretty much - oops.

Lachie has been at Nanna's the last couple of days and will be returning Monday afternoon! So our unplanned, long weekend has suddenly become one we want to make the most of in terms of getting lots done around the house - not very exciting but very much necessary nonetheless.

It all started when we realised we needed to try and make the most of our bland and very un-exciting backyard and 'try' to turn it into an exciting oasis fit enough for even the fussiest of 2 year olds. Being a rental, there is only so much we can do but I've been busy trawling through ebay looking out for swing sets, cubby houses and sand pits. The piece de resistance (spingfree trampoline) will be coming from Santa a little later on. God knows how it's all going to fit but we'll make it!

While I've been doing all the hard work ;-), Baz has been whipper snipping the lawn getting it ready to mow. The poor love managed to whipper snip through a hidden dog poo and copped it square in the face! Apparently laughing uncontrollably was not the right reaction from me - oops LOL.

On top of our back yard blitzing, earlier today Baz saw a mouse in our garage!!! How gross! We have a double garage which is packed to the brim as we moved from a larger house to this smaller house 18 months ago. So it's packed with furniture and signs (from Baz's sign business) and all the things that you generally chuck in a garage so it doesn't clutter the house and no - the poor car most certainly doesn't fit in there! So thanks to this mouse, it forced us to clean out, sort out & chuck out all kinds of things. Have been putting it off for ages, so I'm very happy it's now all done.
