I fear that one day he might just show up here one with one, he has tendencies towards self-gifting!. The kids on the roof had me laughing out loud though! Totally the sort of thing you expect from a husband that is supposed to be supervising the children. xxEmmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03634383197755226856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810235498252474096.post-70053897701616112532012-08-24T14:42:22.124+10:002012-08-24T14:42:22.124+10:00Enjoyed catching up on what you've been up to....Enjoyed catching up on what you've been up to.<br /><br />Your place is looking lovely. <br /><br />I've also had my lad up the fig tree, happily cutting away. Must be that cave man mentality - (me chop wood, grunt grunt).

We do our on thing except when it comes to big purchases and then we work that out. Hang in there on the things you really, really want. We remodeled our kitchen a few years back and I am so sorry I gave in on the microwave over the stove. I let the Hubbs talk me out of it and I regret it to this day. But it's a small thing and life goes on. Still, hold your ground for what you really, truly want.

Would you mind telling me how you format your photos before posting them? ie do you change the resolution/image size? And do you get the photos straight off your computer or from flickr or other website? Trying to figure this problem out and your blogs is one that's really not working on my ipad this week.

It's so funny, this time last year my kids were drawing on tree stumps out in our front garden. I had to go and read my blog post about it to remind me of what happened with our monster hedge! Good luck with the renovations, I'll be reading with interest. We are hopefully on the home straight, just got the kitchen to finish, bathroom and cloakroom to do next month and then the master bedroom. Getting there. xxJuliabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07712813736158254230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810235498252474096.post-45317198634225385712012-08-21T21:00:41.230+10:002012-08-21T21:00:41.230+10:00Love those doors!

He does still have his hands and legs but we did have a bit of an incident with a power line, he was just being neighbourly while he was borrowing my Dad's chainsaw luckily no serious damage but a few streets were without power for a while. So being that it's my Dad's he's banned from it ;) But I do understand how your mind works Mel, they do like their boys toys.

Eeeeek. They look happy though! My boy wonder would be tearful and clinging on to something for dear life - poor boy has no doubt inherited my slightly neurotic personality!
