Morgan's Little Shop of Horrors

I'm sure I've mentioned previously how destructive our new(ish) addition is. We've bought a whole heap of soft toys for her to systematically destroy so that she doesn't attack anything that she's not supposed to. Morgan has taken on this task with much relish and is starting from the face down. She just can't get enough of the plastic noses and eyes. Whenever they get loose enough to threaten injury, I cut them off and sew up the hole that remains in their place. As a result, we now have a very disturbing looking bunch of soft toys in our house - disturbing enough to give a small child nightmares...

So tell us how you create this look, Morgan...

After a hard day of maiming and dismembering, I like to curl up on a couple of soft toys for a nice nap...

Breaking the Rules

Paul and I have been doing very well eating at the dinner table and we're both enjoying it. Well, I'm enjoying it, at least.

Tonight however, we broke the rules. I blanked out the weekend in the calendar so we didn't have any plans and could have a relaxing one. As a result we got take away pizza for dinner and automatically ate it whilst watching a movie. About halfway through the pizza I remembered my goal. Oops! Well, there wasn't much we could do about it then, so we decided it was a halfway treat.

We deserve a bit of a treat since we've had some pretty good news lately. Paul and I now own a very small slice of Brunswick and are about to get back into debt. The house settles on 3rd August, but we'll still be renting here until the end of August, so we've got time to get in there and paint etc. I think both of us are looking forward to having a place that we can do what we like to again. I'm looking forward to getting our art back up on the walls.

We don't have any pics of the house, but when we can get into it, I'll take some photos and then hopefully I can do before and after shots.
