Getting Creative

I bought a scrapbooking kit a while ago and have finally sat down to do it, here's the final result.

Ben is about 18 months old in these photo's, taken at Riversdale Beach at dawn.

Something's Missing Maybe

Kate was so excited the Mark was home today and taking Ben to school so she got herself ready, should I be concerned that somethings missing!?!?

That look.....

 

The Finished Result

This is what it looks like afterwards, so much different (and nicer).  Kate's room came up pretty good too, although took extra work as the walls were terrible and had to use super duper undercoat in there.  Every night when she goes to bed she points to the purple wall and says 'painting night night' - to cute!

Child Labour...

The kids really enjoyed being allowed to pull the wallpaper off down the hall way,

and then they had a go at sanding 'the bits Daddy missed' apparently.

Things are Changing...

We've also been busy redecorating.  We'd been talking about it for ages and always thought we'd start in the hall way to see how we go, and not have to disrupt anyone's room, but one day we just went into Ben's room and pulled all the wallpaper off.  I then had to make a decision on colour's, and fast.  This is the finished result...some will know the previous colour but those that don't think dijon mustard (and yes the scrapper in me forgot to take a before photo).

So What Have We Been Up To.....

Well since the last post Ben has turned 5 and started school.  He's really enjoying it and has settled in well.  Here's a few pics of his happy last day at kindy and his birthday.
