Lily helped me make the birthday cake this morning...a chocolate Guinness cake...mmmm (you boil the Guinness first, so no, Lily's not getting drunk here!)

Had the fireworks display in Waipawa. We started with a walk to buy fish'n chips for dinner...
Then the lollypops they gave the kids on the way in, even Eden tried her first one! 
- Just don't even think about taking it off her!
Waiting for dark...
And the fire poi dancers! They were awesome and I got some cool photos!
And the grand finale...fireworks - that all went off at once, spectacular, but a bit of a bummer as they misfired and that was it after about 20 seconds...

Here's a few pix of our latest projects.
Lachie's room has been fun! Still a work in progress while "we" decide on curtains and a few other surprises to do while I'm bored (when Lachie and Lily are at kindy and Eden's having one of her all-morning sleeps). There's a countdown to the left and more stars to the right...the mini disco balls are the "planets" and send little light flickers around the room (like real stars)
Who said laundries are supposed to be boring! I got a bit carried away with the black paint over the weekend, and today we got a whole lot of red storage boxes to hide I mean store stuff in, (couldn't find pink!), led to the red butterflies this afternoon...
The other night I had Mike make this ladder shelf (can you see that the shelves get bigger from the top down?). It looks a bit "Your Home Mag" at the moment while I decide what should go on it...we didn't need the storage, I just wanted something to fill the gap!
Still a few things not finished, the girls' room is hard because Eden's always asleep in there when I've got painting time...like now!
Still got the window frames and bottom of the house to paint, as well as the garage to plan, as well as deciding if Mike's idea for a deck is worth the hassle (got any thoughts?)...might get round to a renovations blog one day...

In case you missed my mass e-mail this afternoon (sorry, I'm sure I sent it to everyone in my address book), here's the link to voting for the Telecom Art Awards, http://www.ypgartawards.co.nz/vote/gallery.php
I entered a painting of one of Lachie's drawings (HB section if you don't know) during his "Magpies" phase - I keep ALL his drawings, and Lily's, even the little scribbles - it's so much fun to see one of my T.Col projects happening right in front of me! (it was on children's art development, so fascinating!!!)
Anyway, have a look and don't forget to vote for the one you could enjoy looking at for a whole year!
