Jessica was meant to have a couple of friends come over Saturday night for a sleepover, unfortunately right at the last minute they cancelled. I’m fairly sure I felt worse about the situation than she did, and in a moment of complete lunacy suggested she ask them whether they’d like to go ten pin bowling on Sunday, at Grand West. Naturally I couldn’t have Tamsyn going without a friend as well, so another child got added to the mix. Five in total, 3 thirteen year olds and 2 nine year olds.
Might explain the look on my face…
They did have a lot of fun, cost me a small fortune and a *very* well deserved drink at the end of the day.
I just love how the colours in these shots came out.
On the house front, quite a bit has been happening, the kitchen cupboards have finally arrived and Wouter is ‘having fun’ assembling them. I’ve never seen so many bits and pieces in one place.
And that was only half of it!
We do have our first cupboard up aready, well part of it anyway – when I questioned how I’d be able to get anything out of said cupboard, I was told and I quote “this is *my* cupboard for *my* stuff, it is by *my* prep bowl and *my* stove.” I’m not going to argue with such an emphatic man. [As an aside, I did make supper last night and wonder of wonders, it wasn’t half bad – a sort of Tanya’s veggie surprise – Jessica was quite amazed – rude child :-)]
Tamsyn’s room is really starting to take shape now and I just adore her bedroom cupboard doors and with the chandelier, it just looks beautiful.
The chandelier in all its glory…
Of course not to be outdone, Jessica’s light fitting is just perfect for a ‘soon t’o be’ teenage girl.
Our bathroom is also starting to take shape, and the shelf unit by my bath is really going to make the room.
And now it has a back on it and the gap closed up.
We had the door put back between the hall and dining room and Frank had his team strip and varnish the cupboard doors as well as staining the door to fit in with the rest of the room. They did a good job.
