Beth and family came up this past weekend to paint our kitchen cabinets and walls and not everything is put back in place but it finally feels so much more homey and less generic. I am loving the fresh update to our kitchen. Will show you before and after pictures once all the cabinet doors are back in place. I agonized over the colours but I’m happy with the results so far.
It was also nice for Paxie to have more family members here in the house the past weekend. It helps with the clingliness to T and I. He freaks out when someone puts him down or even when I walk a few steps away from him. I try to give him a toy or at least make him know that we are still around him and then I gently put him down.
A, M, Paxie and I went to the pool here in our neighbourhood which was fun except when it rained. The rain came down fast and hard. It also left as quickly as it came. A & M went back in the pool but Paxie was done after I tried dunking him in the water a couple of times to get him used to be in the water. There was a birthday party going on at the pool and there was this annoying kid that kept spraying his water gun at Paxie which annoyed the heck out of me. I think A & M had fun in the pool as it wasn’t too busy.
My veg and herb garden loved the rainfall that we had today. My long bean plant has been growing like mad and it’s also starting to curl itself on the wire which is really neat to see. I’m watching it grow right before my eyes and I literally saw it grow an inch from the morning to the afternoon. There isn’t any beans coming out yet but my herbs have also been growing like mad and the basil will be ready for harvest for some homemade pesto. Jumpy jumpy claps and a great woo and HOO!
I’m also very psyched about starting a raised bed garden. I found a snap in kit that is pretty inexpensive and I am very excited to plant the rest of my vegetable seeds that I bought at the garden centre.
I already miss Beth and co. I like having people over but I’m completely knackered so I’m headed off to bed.
