the pink has to go

it's not that i have anything against pink exactly, but blue is far more appropriate for ollie's new room and matches his funky new curtains far better. ol's new curtains have a rock star and a footballer on them, whilst mine have a digger. mom and dad don't have any curtains just yet, but i expect they'll get some eventually - it's not like they sleep long enough for the dawn to wake them.


having practised in ollie's room yesterday, today i got to help mom and dad paint our new playroom. after some debate about what colour to use, we've settled on 'sandy lane' - the same colour we used in our playroom downstairs.

the youth group came round this evening to lend us a hand. Kris did a great job of putting our new BBQ together. at least it looks great. we won't know if it actually works until we try it!

our first two house guests: Yoshi and his mom (also called Yoshi) are enjoying our hospitality. they're here until the weekend. Yoshi (mom) is sleeping in my new room and she keeps bringing me little presents when she comes in from her day's adventures. she doesn't speak much english, but i can tell she thinks ollie and i are pretty cute.
