 School activities!

.... walking on a balance bar

On a trampoline

.....  climbing a wall!

#2041 Sunday 30th August

 We had a "meet and greet" with a prospective adoption dachshund today ...... it didn't go well because Teddy was too frightened of the other dog.  We'd love to have another daxie so we're on the list of people interested in adopting a dog that needs a new home.  Maybe next time?

Of course Kaylia is supremely indifferent to such matters.... her only concern was that we get to the op shop so that she could buy some more DVDs.

#2040 Thursday 27th August

The new kitchen was finished today.

#2039 Wednesday 26th August

The old kitchen was successfully dismantled and removed over Monday and Tuesday ......

.... and then today the installation of the new kitchen began.  By 5pm it was largely complete and the finishing off will happen tomorrow.

Kaylia has new loops.  Now that Daddy's birthday is past, she is now fixating on "Fathers Day" and the school ball.  Both these happen on the weekend Friday 4th to Sunday 6th of September. 

#2038 Sunday 23rd August

Sad day...... a stray dog from the next street arrived and after saying hello to us in a very friendly manner, he proceeded to attack the chooks.  We managed to rescue two but one of the chooks is nowhere to be found.  The only hopeful aspect is that we don't have a dead chook..... so I hope that she will be able to return....

And through all the drama, Kaylia watched dvds and was oblivious.

Update..... the lost one is found.  We had shut the remaining two into the coop..... so we let them out.  In about 15 minutes they had found the missing one who had been hiding. 

#2037 Friday 21st August

Kaylia has really grown up in recent times.  Her understanding of instructions and questions is almost at her age level.  It certainly makes life easier when we don't need to work hard to gain her understanding of things we say.

The building project is progressing..... the window in the house has been removed and replaced with a sliding door. 

#2036 Wednesday 19th August

I'm exhausted at 6pm...... it's been a big day on the project.  I've constructed the last two wall frames

and it's now a complete room. 

Then this afternoon I removed the window in the entry area of the house..... so that an aluminum sliding door can be installed. This means that the outside balcony can be easily accessed from the house.
