house work

and my huge 40" x 40" of my photos! yay im so excited they turned out so awesome! - they look better in real life!



my new canvass' i had made, 3x 12" of the family



the helicopter! rubes was super interested again and maybe a little dissapointed it wasnt the kind he was thinking of!



looking beautiful before the rain!













ahhh 3rd olad of sand down and flattned ready for reinforcing!







i pulled a corn cob from the garden and zeke wanted to eat it so it went with him all over the yard 'exploring'. who knows what eating uncooked corn does to you but blowed if i could get it off him!



19th 1st load of sand in!











and spent all day using his 'exavator' to 'help' dad!



18th! rubes was soooooo entralled with the dingo







heard screaming and thought the worst when i saw zeke at the top of the ladder! but no, he's just mad that rubes is taking up ythe room so he cant climb higher up!











18th zeke decided to 'eat' the pajero exhast, love the 'mo' it left him with!











17th nelson helping to put our patio lights in! hooray now we can eat outside at night time!



rubes with his chips!



mike fixing vics garden edge which jay ran over with the trailer











dan doing some stellar work, not sure how to repay him for all his effort! to bad it rained so hard last night we have to redo the top layer! bother!



















concrete truck











19th, laying the reo bar

so these for some reason have loaded out of oder but for the life of me i cant be bothered re organising them cos there are so many! sorry!
so this is the last few days at our house and the work we have been doing!
i will date each photo so you can get and idea of the order!

quick up date

and this is right across the road from us at the reserve and i think the water is usually around the tree lines on both sides!







sckate ramps have water in them!



i think the water is usually around that big post a bit further back from the sgns! the light was awful so sorry about the shocking pics!



this is at the boat ramp just down the road from us this afernoon



next day i found him like this trying to scab a banana! he thought he was so jolly clever and had no idea why i was freaking out about this precarious postiton! he also goes into the pantry when he is hungry and pulls out the cereal container, opens it up and stuffs his little gob full, carefully covering my floor with cereal!
NOTE~ the NEXT day (yest) i came out to find him up on the kitchen bench dancing round but i didnt stop to take a photo of it cos i was a little TOO freaked out about that one!



zeke loves to climb so here he is the 1st morning of the new desk and he is right up on it faster than i could walk into the kitchen! so i moved the chair further away so zeke just pushed it back again so he could get up again!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!



and actually the bench isnt looking so bad here but both sides were totally covered in 'piles'



this was my kitchen floor where i put all the stuff to throw out!



thats the filing cabnet once we put it together but i had to clean out the cupboard and do a WHOLE LOT of last years filing and chuck out years worth of old stuff before i could let myself put it away!







rubes helping jay put together the new computer desk!







zeke is a total water baby and i was surprised to see him 'floating' here!



hmmm what to do when you are bored and its raining outside....? go for a swim fully clothed of course!!















well, talk about being in undated with water~ we are totally water logged and once again the kids have taken to playing outside in the mud, rain and pool despite the rain coming down! at least its not cold as well i guess.
so far we are ding fine, now have 'river views' from our lounge which we never have had before!!! am glad i dont have the stress of living on the other side of the road even tho at this point it looks like the water will not come up too much higher seeing as we have had a 24 hour respite from rain! i hate to think what it wouldhave been like, not so much for us but the rest of brissie if it had not stopped raining last night~

anyway other than the kids going nuts from being inside, runny noses, cutting teeth, general grumpiness and pushing and shoving and chasing, life goes on as normal!

admittedly i have ben a bit of a spending spree and tried to do a little 'redecorating' however i will wait till its complete to take pics and post although there ARE some of the in progress ones on here and trust me it was actually even worse than it looks here!!!
