Should I stay or should I go?

On Friday I took the 4 children to Hermanus to see their grandparents and the beautiful Southern Right Whales that come to calve every season. It was a lovely time away and the whales put on a show for us, breeching and doing their whale things.

When I got home Superman would not let me into the garden. I was blindfolded and led to the veggie garden. He said he has a surprise for me.

And what a surprise it was....I have known Superman for 22 years and I know he doesn't do things in half measures. So when he watched my mom and I hang up 12 hanging baskets for strawberries, he was not satisfied.

So while I was away he contacted the wholesalers and bought a whole lot more...I shudder to mention how many more, but you can see for yourself! This is the sight that greeted me:

He added another basket to each we hung.



He hung more along a wall on the left of the garden...



He filled the wall with half moons.



He still has lots more to hang outside near our pool. His plans for these are for strawberries, herbs, tomatoes and flowers.

So the question is: Should I stay home more often to make sure he doesn't spend more money? Or should I go away more often to come home to these fabulous surprises?
