Today was a great Saturday. We had a lazy morning (which was desperately needed after a LOOONG week at work and daycare). Tim then brought in his "latest project". He has spent the last 6 evenings out in the garage building Lexi a dollhouse. I planted the seed ages ago since he is Mr. Handyman. I printed off ideas from a website in the UK that sells gorgeous dollhouses made out of wood. They are often built in replicas of English estate homes, etc. Well, I guess that my practical-minded husband got hung up on the "replica" word. He has built Lexi a boathouse replica and even painted it to match. Er, um - it wasn't exactly the "girly girl" dollhouse I had in mind, but Lexi loves it.
We also officially moved Lexi into her new bedroom this morning. Nikki has lovingly made Lexi new curtains for her new bedroom. They were finished this week and we moved the bed over this morning. We aren't done decorating, etc., but it is definitely starting to take shape. (The idea is that the new baby gets the "baby room" with the couch for convenience in breast feeding....). So, a huge, massive THANK YOU to Nikki for the gorgeous curtains! You are awesome!
After the lazy morning of new bedroom and "doll house", Tim headed to Feda to get a couple of things completed and Lexi and I met Jacinta, Grace and Rachel at Soma Gård. It is a local farm that has loads of activities for kids. There are massive amounts of picnic tables, open areas, grills and animals. So, it is a great picnic outing - and of course, there were plenty of things to hop on.
Lexi and I came home this evening tired-out from a fun day in the sunshine. Here are some pics to prove it.
