The Red room!!

Excuse the flash reflections in the photo! This is our "home theatre" come family TV room. I really wanted a red room and this is it. It has 2 levels for seats and a little divider wall on the left. It's hard to see the colour exactly but we are very happy with it. There are so many reds out there!!

Finally the kids have their trampoline back. This is our back yard area off the back deck. Eventually I would like to pave it and have a basketball ring etc here as well, and access to a cubby up in the trees somewhere!

Party Pics!!

Over the last two Saturdays we have had birthday parties for Amber and Nicky. The weather was beautiful and it was so nice to use the house to entertain. We set up the table out the front as the back deck isn't finished yet. Here is Amber opening her presents.

Here is her horse cake!!

Nicky and the pinata!!

Nicky's party was a "Weird Creatures" party! Here is one of the creatures that came. Her name is Pudgie!

Nicky's monster cake!

Another weird guest!

Nicky as a four armed, ten eyed, something or other!

The latest things done.

We really want to paint our family room / theatre room in a RED but finding the right red is a difficult process!

This is our walk in wardrobe in the main bedroom.

Remember the trees we cut down all those months ago? See here. Well here is some of them, milled and dried and used as feature timbers around the house. This is in the kitchen and we're also building our main staircase out of it. It is Blackwood.

Here's hubby measuring some of the Blackwood.

Party time!

No it's not the Housewarming....yet.....but it is Amber and Nicky's birthday parties. Amber and Nick have only had one proper "friends" party in their lives (excluding family gatherings of course) and it was a joint one as their birthdays are 11 days apart. This year, I promised they could have their OWN parties and have them at home. I haven't done a big home kids party for a very long time! So, Amber's is tomorrow and Nicky's next Saturday. It's time to clean up this place!!! Darren is coming home from work early to clean up outside and set up the BBQ in the top garage area. I am cleaning up inside and then I'm out to get some hay bales and horseshoes (Amber's is a horse party!). I'll post some pics soon.
