Andrew and Karla's Place

We’ve been wondering for a while how early Jessie has been getting up in the mornings, when asked she’ll happily tell you 3 o’clock. So I decided to set up the webcam in the lounge room on the laptop to try and see what time she was getting up.

We know that she has been going out in to lounge room and turning on the tv and then turning on Foxtel and watching her shows. Often in the mornings we’ve noticed that she looks really tired and often can be in a mood becuase she is tired.

So with the webcam set up and motion detection turned on we can now know the truth…..

Will of a Wisp?

And the answer is: 4.38am

We’ve been running around the past week also with bath room stuff, Sophie’s been sick with some sort of virus and work.

So I have been very slack and have not been doing any updates on anything really, just been to tired or not feeling like typing something up on the site for the day / week. Hopefully with the bath room being finished on Monday / Tuesday things will be a bit more normal, if there is such a thing these days.

I have uploaded pictures of the bath room reno up in the gallery, I’ve got up to day 5 in there now so you can see all of these by going to the Our Bath Room Renovation 2010 album in the gallery.

The bath room is getting the floor tiled today and this will then be grouted tomorrow and cleaned, ready for the plumber to come back on Monday afternoon to fit the vanity, toilet, taps and screens etc. So by Monday night everything should be in and I guess ready to use.

Jessie has been collecting all of the bath toys she can find ready for the day that she is allowed to have a bath in there. I guess Karla is excited too and can’t wait for a nice relax in the evenings in her new tub.

As mentioned Sophie has been sick since Monday and has been getting a fever and high temp on and off until yesterday, the Doctors think it’s likely she may have picked up a virus from the swimming pool while doing her swimming lesson last Sunday. She seems much better now but while sick she has been giving Karla a hard time by being very clingy.

This weekend is a play date with the Stirlings, some late night work for me and swimming on Sunday again, but not sure if Sophie will be doing her lesson this week.

I’ll also upload the rest of the pictures I have as well.

The above picture is what our bathroom looked like after the end of the first days work was completed. We are now several days in and the room looks a little different with the bath now in place.

I’ve been taking pictures at the end of each day when something has been done and I will post each end of day work up on the site.

We are removing the old shower, toilet and vanity, (pretty much everything) and replacing the shower with a shower bath set up and turning the toilet around and moving the vanity to the other wall.

There are several pictures in the gallery.

I know this is a little late, but here are some pictures from the local paper the Advertiser that were taken of us at Merrylands for the Australia Day this year. It was for the Australia Day Billy Cart Derby, which is going to be run each year now. Bob and his bother Allan have been putting together a pirate ship billy cart made out of items that they find on the site of the road.

The event was for charity and they contacted the organisers to see if they wanted to the ship to come along and help get money on the day.

Jessie and Sophie both enjoyed by pushed around in it for most of the morning.

For some reason the Gallery database corrupted the other night. We did have some power outages so maybe that might have caused it.

This caused the main site to produce some errors when being displayed, all fixed now.

I’ll have some updates on our bath room reno to put up shortly as well.
