The house is pretty spiffy at the moment, thanks to my grandma’s helper doing a major clean-up for us on Sunday, then the hubby and I tackling some much-needed spring cleaning on Monday (he took leave). Of course, there’s the usual comforting mess/remnants of David’s daily play lying about the place still…

We cleared one whole bookshelf worth of stuff and put dottieshop table into storage (I’ll use the dining table from now on) to make more room for David to run about and play and read in his room. Also rearranged stuff a bit in view of future sharing of the room with baby no2. And finally, the storeroom got its much-needed sorting out.

And for a bit of festive cheer, we strung up pink and white roses (got these on our honeymoon and found them in the storeroom…) and attempted to make mini ang pow lanterns with David, inspired by another mummy. In the end I made them, because he was bent on ripping every available ang pow to shreds. Heh!
