Happy Birthday Georgia!

Since Uncle Stephen, Aunty Fran, Kayla and Caleb can't be in Albany to celebrate Georgia's 10th Birthday, they decided to make a little movie to send Birthday love and wishes....enjoy xxxxo

Happy Birthday Fran!

It is never any fun having to work on your birthday so Stephen tried to make the most of a dinner with the family. Photographic evidence below. The cake didn't taste too bad. Kayla made us wear the pointy hats.

A Very Happy Un Birthday to You!

No, we haven't decided to kidnap our own children, they were blindfolded for an event that we are hoping will become a bit of a tradition in the Powell House. Both Kayla and Caleb have late in the year birthdays and it is very hard when they attend birthdays and have to wait so long for theirs and other children have 6 months wait where as they have 12, if you are a December baby you will know what we mean. Anyway, we got the idea from Alice in Wonderland where the mad hatter sings about the unbirthday. So we had a little unbirthday tonight. They were blind folded by Fran, lead to the kitchen to the cake and small gifts and lollies. They had 8 candles as that was their combined age. The gifts were really just things they needed and a couple of small toys. We played Alice in Wonderland at the same time on the DVD. A reall surprise to say the least.

Blind folded before the surprise!

Cake and pressies revealed!

The Um Birthday cake, it was our first attempt so next year the cake will have 'un', not 'um'!

The Extension is FINISHED!

At last the Powell's can tick off another goal, the extension is finished with the dryer being placed up on the wall to complete the laundry. Now the hard work, PAINTING!

A couple of pics and a little video of the laundry to let know what we have been raving about!

In The Garden

We thought we would add a couple of photos showing some recent additions. These two sculptures are so simple but so effective. The one with a bird on top was a 40th Birthday Present for Stephen from the Stokes and the butterfly one was recently purchased from the Kalamunda Markets. We have converted both of them to simple water features that operate while the sprinklers do their 15 minute water. One tops up the water lilly pot twice a week. They make great bird baths.
