House Projects Planned

tssc called me, while i was on the way to the surau. i'm always sceptical about answering his calls, because it'll either be about money (that i owe him...) or about dinner (and its so difficult to turn down his invitations) or, worst, it would be about maids (and how he doesnt understand why we dont want to have one...)

this time he gave me some good news, a little too good to be true. i mentioned to him that i was on the way to the surau. his reply was...well, pray that i put some money into your account. my immediate thought was...omigod, what do i want to do up at home?

the ccd in me made up this list in 3 minutes...
1. do up my garden - which includes digging up the hard soil and replacing with a more fertile soil and changing the grass with a more child-friendly grass (no lalangs, semalu). i intend to plant about 3 big trees towards the back of my house, mainly to cover a nuisance of a fish pond next door. while hubby's in his gardening mood (which has only been 2 days) he plans to buy those flower seeds packs to plant near the front and back fences. i also want to buy 2 goal posts and a slide and swing set for amir and asyraf.














2. bed - i plan to get new comforter sets for the boys, something cheery and colourful. at the same time (if someone remembers...hint tiza) i also want to change the boys' bed head with another material that is equally colourful. maybe something of a water theme as their borders have similar theme.

3. wardrobe - since we plan to let the boys sleep in their own room before the end of the year, i'd like to do up the wardrobe in their room as soon as possible. i actually like amir's chest of drawers and if possible would like to have a 3-door wardrobe to match it, but i doubt they can. next option is to match asyraf's chest of drawers. that done, i can start moving their clothes from our room and from the storage boxes.

4. of course once the wardrobe is done, i need to fill it up with new clothes for the boys. asyraf needs new jammies while amir needs more day clothes to wear at his nursery. his day clothes are all too lawa for nursery. i'm scared he'll spill food or ter-colour. rosak lah baju...

that's what i came up with in 3 minutes. give me another 30 minutes to come up with 10 more...
