...I know why not watch both of them and just move the TV from the bedroom down to the lounge. The aerial is all set up as we have done this before watching the world cup! It did mean that we had a good spring clean behind the lounge television as the cables were all sorted out.
The boys also had new mattresses delivered this weekend and so while we waited in for them to arrive we had a spring clean of the bedrooms as well. Jacob was away on camp, so that made tidying his bedroom much easier!! I hadn't realised he had so much floor space!!!
Last weekend we bought some new pots for the garden, but we weren't too sure about the terracotta colour matching the new patio.. This week Andy has bought some paint and taken some time out from slab laying to transform the pots. Here's a before and after demo..
Before and after |
With the rain taking a slight break this weekend (to be replaced by high winds) Andy has been able to get on with getting the patio, he had compacted it down, levelled off the sand and laid a layer of cement, topping most of it off with the new slabs. I would have added a picture, but he covered it all up for the night while we were at church as it started to rain (again!!).
Can you tell what it is yet? |
Cakes on new cooling rack! |
With cooking, gardening and school Governor meetings, I haven't had time for any craft this week, but I have several birthdays in the family coming up this week so I must get on with making some cards to show you all next week.
This week's Bible verse comes from John's Gospel and is a wonderful though for Father's day:
Yet some people accepted him
and put their
faith in him.
So he gave them the
right
to be the children
of God.
John 1 verse 12
Our prayer as a family this week is for those who are bringing up children without a father, that they may come to know their Father in heaven, who will also support them through the good and the bad. We also pray for all fathers who are bringing up their children in difficult circumstances,. We particularly think of the two children we sponsor and their families, Woldhino in Haiti and Neomi in Bolvia.
With God's blessings from my family to yours,
Jo x
