Will update soon. Kitchen is under construction, photos soon.

Hubby is home

Back in April Grahame first went to Afganhastan, then came home then went again. He arrived home last night. Our family is all together once again. I wish we had of taken photos at the airport. The boys didn't know he was arriving. So we went our for dessert after dinner, then drove around wasting time then made up a story about putting rubbish in the bin, so we stopped at the airport to put rubbish in the bin.( it's a tiny airport incase your wondering!). And there was the Daddy and the look on the boys faces was priceless. Very happy moment.
And look what he bought home.

A beautiful silk Afghani rug.
Together with my newly upholstered chairs and the curtains the house is really becoming very homley.

Curtain call and mote chrissy decorating

With a little bit of drama and fuss the curtains are now up. I think they make the house look much more homley and give a certain elegance to the place. I really love how they look.

Today we went out to a christmas tree farm to choose a real tree. We raced around the paddock looking the best one of course. However many had already been earmarked. Some since as early as October. Who on earth is thinking of christmas trees in October?

So with choosen tree closely guarded so no one else would take it, Elliott and Harison tried to cut it down. But the owner had to do the honors as the boys couldn't get the saw going.

Desperate to decorate it tonight we raced to Go Lo with 10 minutes to spare before closing time. Me having no say in this, I just handed over the cash for deco's. So after dinner the kids all decorated. It looks good but I think we might need another trip to GoLo to really tart it up. Needs more sparkles.

We have had a thorough drenching this week. Very boggy all around. But we have managed to get some fellas in to do some work on the orchard.

The Vegie patch/orchard is having a bit of an upgrade.
