my boys...

Isn't this the sweetest? Last Friday (our anniversary) we all enjoyed afternoon siesta's. When I woke up from mine, I found my 2 gorgeous fellas asleep on the couch. My heart melted! I love them both so much and feel so blessed to have them in my life... love you guys!

anniversary...

Last Friday was our 5 year Wedding Anniversary. We can hardly believe it has been that long. We wanted to do something special for it, but with a mortgage and a child, that wish was very limited. As Lachlan and I weren't well, we started the day off with a visit to the Doctor, followed by an appointment with our bank- yes, very romantic! Thankfully, John's mum came to the rescue and travelled from Mittagong to babysit Lachlan that night so we could go out. We enjoyed a delicious meal at "The Outback" restaurant and hired a DVD on the way home. To others, that may not seem that great, but it was to us! So until we become millionaires and can jet-set off on romantic getaways, we'll take what we can get!

my husband, the genius...

I didn't get around to doing the vacuuming today, so I asked John to help out and do this for me when he got home from work. He really hates doing it as he has to hunch over and gets a sore back, so he put off doing it until this evening. As I was getting Lachlan ready for bed, this is what I saw as I came into the lounge room...

John was chuffed with his genius idea of vacuuming whilst sitting on a swivel chair. I have seen it all now. For the rest of the evening, I have been listening to him plan how he could design it to be more ergonomic and efficient, and even wants to patent his new idea! So, in the interest of my husbands dreams, please don't steal his fabulous new invention- after all, he is the real genius...
