OUR HOME - BEFORE AND AFTER

Our house has needed a facelift for way too long now, so we decided to paint the roof and add plaster bands around the windows and doors. We are also planing on adding a garage but that still needs to be approved by the Town Council. So here are some 'before' and 'after' photos.

OUR STUDY REVAMP

This post is for Krystal and Cleone's benefit. I just wanted to show you what the study looks like now. I pulled out that silly pine 'landing' and it's so much more spacious. We are really enjoying spending more time here now - not so stuffy!!

Scuse all the wires etc. and we still need to put the mirror up on the wall.

BLAYZE'S 1ST BIRTHDAY

Blayze turned one on 14th March - can't believe one year has already gone by. We were able to spend 1/2 hour with Blayze and Bevan on his birthday, so rushed through opening pressies and then tried to teach him a few words from the books we bought him. He still doesn't say many words when he visits, although Bevan says he does say a few words when he is at home. However, we really enjoy every minute we get to spend with him. We still aren't allowed to baby sit at all which really upsets us a lot. He is very precious though.

MRS DALY'S CLASSROOM - AFTER

This is Mrs Daly! She started teaching Grade Ones at Northdene Primary School on Wednesday.

Her walls are still a bit bare but she is waiting on a order she placed for a whole lot of teaching aids from the USA. So we will have to post a few more pics once she has filled her walls.

This is the store room - phew, what a job to clean and tidy it.

So exciting to see Kayley's creativity at work.

Kayley Daly's Classroom - BEFORE

This This is what Kay's classroom and store room looked like when we arrived - I think there was about 20 years build up of filth. We took 2 days to clean it and paint it.

Crummy curtains - Kayley's face says it all !!!

Too cute!

Here we are again! Just keeping you up to date with Blayze.

HAPPY HIPPIE!!

Kayley and I popped in to visit Bevan last night. Blayze was in such a happy mood - must have been his pink "Tie 'n Dye" hippie shirt! A blast from the past!!
