Gardening

DH and I spent most of the day outside today, cleaning up and gardening. $160 later at Bunnings and we planted out a herb garden complete with chilli bush. We used our own home made compost that has taken us almost 4 years to make!
We also added some hanging baskets to the front and re-potted the cardboard plant! We added some potted colour to the back deck and planted two more screening trees along the fences so hopefully they grow quickly and we can stop the neighbours from looking onto our deck.
Top Row - Mona Lavender, Gerbra, Canna (Tropical Yellow - Can't wait to see this on bloom)
Bottom Row - Clown Mix, and don't remember (opps!!)
Big Tub - Snow White

Tabebula Argentea Silver Trumpet Tree

Melaleuca quinquenervia

{3rd Birthday} Octonauts party

Image
It has been a week two weeks since Aden's Octonauts party and I think I have recovered enough to post about it. Special thanks to my sister for gabbing my camera and my MIL and SIL for their cameras, as I didn't take any all day! Aden is a massive Octonauts fan! So when he didn't go for my initial plan of a 'Monsters' Party ( too scary Mummy!) we decided on Octonauts. I did a lot of Internet searching and looking at a lot of Pintrest posts to gather all my ideas together.  There was lots of party food including Octonaut Cupcakes. Cake toppers from Ebay  And a Kwazii cake as requested by the birthday boy! I totally forgot to put on the Octopus I had for his hat!! We also had yellow/green/blue jelly cups with turtles in them and smarties cookies. As well as regular party food and hot finger food for the adults.
