Halloween 2015

Grad Crafting

Middle child is graduating this year.  On to highschool next year.  There was a meeting for the parents of the grads to help with the graduation dinner and speeches.  I volunteered for decorating.  After finding out that fresh flowers might kill our budget.  I got the bright idea to use old books and make my own flowers.  This may be a long couple of weeks to get 16 centre pieces done!!!

Family Game Night

Owen has been pleading with puppy eyes for a month to have a family game night.  Granted picking Monopoly would not have been my first choice.  We all tried very hard to get him to choose UNO but......   I wonder what it says about everyone.  Owen won't sell a thing.  Hannah just had the crap luck.  Ciara well she got fed up after a while.  I just got one set of three properties and Eric got the Park Place high end properties!!!    We played for a few hours and then counted money to declare a winner.  Owen of course.

Open Garden Parkes NSW 2015

We got asked to be part of Parkes Open Garden Tours.  I didn't take photos of the days before the tour.  Which I should have,  the garden is a little quiet now.  Back to just green and we haven't been as eager to clean up leaves and weeds like the weeks leading up to it.  So this is just a little taste of the garden.  I'll post more later on in the summer when the next round of blooming starts.  We got a very hot period after the Open Gardens and all the blooms went very fast even the roses.

Birthday

33 Degrees and it's Pool Time

Wow 33 degrees.   It sneaks up on you.  We headed down to the pool after some garden work for the upcoming Parkes Open Gardens that we have volunteered our garden for.  Purple Rain cocktails down by the pool for only me as Eric is on Ocsober.  No beers for him the month of October.
