{Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real} - Darwin Edition

Ah, it is lovely to be settled down into our new posting location of Darwin.  It is meant to be the wet season but we have had no rain as yet.  We have been in our house a week now and we got rid of the last boxes yesterday, along with a few items to the tip and and a couple of boxes of belongings to the charity shop.  

Our house here in Darwin is much nicer than we thought was possible for a Defence House and we feel like we have made a lot of progress over the last week in getting everything into place.  It is a bit tighter squeeze with the new baby on the way and us losing the spare room (aka dumping ground) and so we have a pile of stuff to sell on Ebay of the next couple of months.  It feels good to start the new year with a clean out though!

So, onto Like Mother, Like Daughter's {Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real} - I am so excited to be able to join in again.

Lovely tropical flowers (the variety of which I have no idea) picked up last weekend at Parap Markets.  We also got the most amazing tropical fruit - the papaya was to die for.  Unfortunately all eaten by now, so no photos this week!

To be at the stage of being able to primp some corners of my home, the hard slog of unpacking is over.

Ginger has become quite the little madam about getting dressed in the morning.  We have about five changes of outfit and lots of tears and squealing!  This morning she wanted to put her dress on all by herself - as you can see she hasn't worked out the armholes, the whole ensemble is inside out and she still has her pj shorts on.

There is, cough, a certain room in the house which is looking a little less polished than the others.  Our baby boy's room.  All I can say is he better hold his horses - Mummy and Daddy are working on it.  Now if we could only find somewhere to put all Ginger's toys.  And, I could get round to ironing that paper I salvaged from the packing boxes for Ginger's painting......
