Yesterday was a warm, sunny winter's day here in Perth so we decided to take advantage of the sunshine and went to a nearby park where Grace could ride her bike and feed the ducks. She had a ball and giggled at all the birds flocking towards her.
Tomorrow our new bedroom carpet is being installed followed by the lounge/dining on Wednesday so we've also done a lot of furniture moving this weekend. I'm planning on having a week of sorting and tidying as I don't want to put things back in the bedrooms until I've had a good declutter of our belongings.
What have you all done this weekend?
Love that first pic, the ducks are so close! It was lovely to have some sunshine this weekend :)
ReplyDeleteHow exciting about the carpet.... oh how I love a good cull! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteFound your blog recently and have been enjoying reading it. We are in Auckland, NZ and this weekend two of the crazy members of our family partook in the annual Mid Winter Splash at Mission Bay! It was a gorgeous day here yesterday and we had a lot of fun.

Hi Amanda, Looks like a lovely weekend - nice and sunny. Was Grace afraid of the big swan?
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to have some changes around the house. I'm trying hard to be patient with that here :) I had to work all weekend so am looking forward to the coming weekend already!

how sweet is that bike! we got our first rays of decent sunshine over the weekend too -- and it brightened my spirits considerably! I sat outside in the sun for a good hour or so yesterday reading magazines Ive neglected over the last month and then made us a delicious sushi... with banana and chocolate milkshakes for good measure! Yum! x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics of your gorgeous Gracie Girl!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like the same lovely weather we had how nice is the blue sky and warm sun on your back! Ahhhh... The swans look so cool, she would have loved them! Good luck with your sorting and culling my dear. I hope the new carpet goes in smoothly! Jxx
It was a beautiful day yesterday, very cute photo, Grace looks like she's having fun feeding the swans!! Great news that the carpets going down! It's always a good feeling when you get the chance to de-clutter. We spent a quiet weekend around the house doing some cooking and relaxing and enjoying the last few days of school holidays.

ReplyDeletecute photos.....i love the sound of children giggling, we had a lovely catching up with friends weekend,, enjoy your monday lisa
ReplyDeleteHi Amanda, looks like you had a lovely family day out and enjoyed a bit of sunshine to boot! My weekend was soccer duties and staring at our new boulder wall! ;-)
ReplyDeleteWe had fun feeding the ducks in Sydney last week...your photos are lovely and enjoy the new carpet.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect Winters day to be outside at the park. Grace looks like she had a great time. My hubby and I went out on Saturday night celebrating our birthdays early and then Sunday we had family over to celebrate, busy but we all had a great time. I hope the carpet installation went well today. Have a good week:)
ReplyDeleteP.S. My big girl is doing really well with her braces and her first appointment was a breeze. She has a new type of brace system that means she doesn't get the terrible tightening each month that can be painful so all is well. Thank you for asking. xo
It sounds like a lovely weekend Amanda, and Grace looks so cute on her little bike! You must be so pleased to be getting the carpet done and sorting things out, I always think it is so refreshing to go through and declutter. I hope you have a lovely week
ReplyDeleteNice to enjoy a sunny winters day with your loved ones...Its a lovely warm feeling when having something new and fresh in the house. Will be great when its all done and a declutter is good for the soul!! A very quiet weekend for me, with more 'before meets after' painting taking place - soon to be posted. Hope the week isnt too hectic.

Oh my goodness, Grace is getting big!! How cute does she look on her bike??
ReplyDeleteYay for the carpet... it will be so nice and fresh.
We took the kids to Scitech today, but the weekend was a mix of mad packing, and people visiting for my birthday... wierd combo, but it was fun! Kiddies off to school tomorrow, so Hubby and I will have a quiet Anniversary...

Grace looks like she had a great time with y'all and getting to feed the ducks!
ReplyDeleteHi Amanda. Cute photos of Grace and Paul. Is that at the park on Marmion St?? Grace walking...how exciting! She'll be able to get up to all sorts of mischief now! My youngest niece had her 6th birthday yesterday and fortunately I was well enough to attend her little party on Saturday. I had another niece arriving last week (Skye) Such a blessing. I love being an aunty! I spent some treasured time with my gorgeous Nanna. It was wonderful to be back out in the world. (Had some improvement this week so light at the end of the tunnel) I've also enjoyed the Tour de France for the same reasons as you. (Maybe I should start buying Lotto...)
ReplyDeleteLove to you and Grace, Lyndell xx
Sarah - Grace wasn't scared at all - although she was a bit shocked when a swan pecked her on the hand :)
ReplyDeleteLyndell - yes, we were at the Marmion St park - such a lovely spot on a sunny say - we'll have to have a little picnic there one morning x
