This weekend saw some glorious Winter sunshine and it was all about working in the backyard and Daddy of course as we celebrated Father's day here in Australia!
His patient self has nearly finished his rock retaining wall in the backyard now but we are still to do the planting…at the moment the toddler twosome are having fun climbing up the rock stairs but we plan to block them off with plants until they are older. In the meantime they are absolutely loving their new outdoor challenge….don't worry they were being closely supervised but i think it is still important to let kids explore the skill of climbing and discovering the outdoors in new ways too!
I love the pallet fence – what a fabulous idea! ๐ And the perfect size for little people! ๐ The girls’ prints look fabulous too!
Thanks Bek…the girls are loving watering their little plants!
So many great things all in one post – never thought of using salt dough for the handprints and that pav – WOW!
Thanks for dropping by….i didn’t quite realise how much i sqeezed into this post until i published lol! The salt dough worked great!
What a gorgeous little nook for doing some planting! I nearly did those dough hand prints too this year, but got too lazy to make dough and get out the paints LOL
I did have my moments of wondering why i started them but they were actually pretty easy and quick to get done!
loved loved love this post. Loved taras tutu. And the planter boxes (neat idea). And pavlova. I’m not aussie but I LOVE pavlova. (Found out about it a few years ago because one of my other best friends is Australian. She gave me a recipe and we made it at my house. YUM!!!!) So glad for happy days! Oh and I love the handprints!
Thanks Aprille….i forget that Pav is more an Aussie (or Kiwi) thing! So glad you like them too! Tara loves that tutu…shame it isn’t going to last long the way she insists on wearing it everywhere!!
Sounds like a brilliant weekend. That planter box idea is gorgeous.
Thanks Sarah…i am actually pleased with how they turned out although think they will look better with some paint and flowers in bloom!
I love what you did with the palletts!
I saw harder versions of them on pinterest and a few tv shows but we just took an easier option with them…they are working well though!
I LOVE the planters in the fence! What a terrific idea!
wow!!! really like this post. cute baby doing amazing work.

I love the pallette fence too – what did you plant in it? Flowers or food? I want to do something like that but rent so I’ll probably find some way to lean it on the garage out back – just not sure what to plant in it. =D
Thanks for sharing. I’m going to share it with my daycare providers group – this would make a great activity to do with the kids and I like how you used it as a fence. =D
