(BTW, this is Seb's ballet outfit)
Here you can see the fire truck that he bought himself with his busking money.
These are new reversable comforters - one for each child but Sophie will have to grow into hers.
Seb chose the colours + I dug around for old (such the gingham curtains that hung in my childhood room)and new decor items = Taddah, a bright, happy room for two siblings.
M did note part way through the hours of painting, that one can spend too much time and money fretting/decorating a kid's room (or dressing a kid). Instead of actually spending your energy on them - live, in your face, up close. Point taken. But it is so wonderful to have a whop of colour in our house. I can't stand wall after wall of designer "putty".
Tonight, we fired up the BBQ and had our first family BBQ. It was a lovely warm & sunny day here, which carried into early evening. So it was veggie kebabs, "hungerburgers", potato salad, beer. Seb was soooooooooooooooo happy to see the ketchup that I had bought for the weekend party. I had 4 year old help to wash & chop. Not much help on the clean-up front. But M was thrilled to come home from work to such a sight & feast.
