BACK TO WORK FOR STEW.....

Where the poor bugger can get a rest! He sure worked hard this last weekend! Here's some photos of yesterday:



ABOVE: Stew adjusting the swing set.... notice the fantastic fence??? No little kid is going to fall off the retaining wall now~!




ABOVE: Stew and Andrew getting the Lullaby Swing on... it took some work I assure you!



ABOVE X's 2: Woo hoooo... it WORKS!



ABOVE: LOOK! ... Me ... doing some work!



ABOVE: Me, enjoying the views and watching the planes go by on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon.
TODAY:
At some stage today I am off to Manukau to buy some Squabs (outdoor chair cushions) ... I haven't been able to find any I like, but Andrew suggested I buy some cheap ones and put covers on them! What a clever bugger.... so that's what I am going to do!
Then I will look for a squab box to keep them in when not in use. FUN... shopping again!
OUT and ABOUT... went to Manukau, then Mt Wellington, then Takanini... got the seat cushions (squabs) ... got rubber mats for under the swing set, and... two passionfruit plants for the back fence. We were out for over 3 hours! AND the kids were soooo good!
I am thrilled with how they are enjoying the swing set.
I had hoped to spend a good deal of today outside, but it's cloudy and windy, even had a few spots of rain. So not much getting done outside, and I don't feel like folding the BLOODY ENOURMOUS mountain of washing. I think I'll wait for Stew to come home and give me a hand!
End of Day: another day dusted... and I'm still happy with me lot. Stew folded all the washing while I snoozed in the lounge tonight! Naughty me!
NSV: none today, I did bugger all re: diet/exercise. nite nite.

  2. I thought you were a teenager moving that bench! Looks like the kiddos are enjoying the swingset! We need a new one but they are all almost too old for it anyhow.

  3. I'm actually think you are a real softy... fences for kids, swing set for kids... lol

    Yes, sure I'd love to meet up at Sylvia Park. You'll have to come here sometime too - I'm not too far away really. Isn't the spring just wonderful? I'm so glad you're feeling so much happier now.
