A break while the paint dries...





It was a beautiful sunny afternoon and we needed to wait for a coat of paint to dry so what better thing to do than float the ponies to the beach for a ride....thanks to Johns enthusiasm and confidence he made me go for a ride when I have been putting it off and putting it off as my horse riding confidence has dropped somewhat and I feel the longer I leave it the harder it is going to get....After hopping on and feeling a little nervous it didn't take me long to relax into it...Lass was a little hot under the saddle but as I relaxed so did she....I even got her into the river for a paddle!

Another busy week this week....













We are all so over painting rooms!!! not quite there yet though...still have the lounge and the kitchen to go...John  seems to think the lounge will be quite quick to paint as the walls don't have much prep to do on them, so we should be able to crack on with painting....still it is all the furniture moving and putting back that is wearing me out!

Zoe has a newly painted and madeover bedroom










We are flying through the renovations at the moment due to the terrible weather, means John has no outside work so inside painting at home is quite appealing....Zoe has a beautiful fresh new looking room that really doesn't feel anything like her old room...the separating of my 2 little lovelies has gone extremely well and I think the timing was perfect, Zac loves his new room and is so happy to go to bed,he sleeps like a dream...never hear a peep from him(never have!) and Zoe was so excited with her new room last night she found it hard to settle down and get to sleep(too cute)....she says each time she walks in she can't believe it is hers and that it all looks so beautiful....she has been so proud to show people and her and Willow just hung out all afternoon in there...what more could a girl want than a nice place to hang out....lucky kids...
