Bleh

Couldn't think a title for this post. I don't think there is any one word or statement that sums it up. So...bleh :)



I did a little make over in our bedroom. We've had the same look going on for almost ten years and so it was time for a change.






I'm happy with it. Parakeet window treatments and all!


This is in the back corner of my new bedroom. I had been using an 18 gallon tote for my nightstand all this time. When I found this for $3.75 at the thrift store, I was so excited! I know it doesn't match my other bedroom furniture, but the size and price were right on. I had plans to refinish it, but I think I like it just the way it is. In fact, I kind of wish all the other bedroom furniture matched my thrift store nightstand.






Back in February we had a Minute to Win It game night. Since I was over the games, Aaron did all the picture taking and this was the only still picture he got. All of the video he took is lots of fun to watch though.





Carter and Olivia wanted to wear each other's pajamas to bed one night. I was fine with it but Aaron wasn't (go figure). But I had to snap this quick picture for black-mail purposes before he changed.





Yeah, I guess Olivia does look better in these pajamas.


I do love that Olivia loves to read to her little brother and sister! They love it too!









Haylee's hair is getting pretty long. I got to do it the way I always used to do Olivia's.





This used to be Olivia's outfit.




Haylee started walking about three weeks ago! Obviously this was a very momentous occasion as she is 21 months old (now 22 months). We're so glad to see her catching up with her motor skills.





I just love this little munchkin. And she loves nutella.







We colored Easter eggs! About six dozen! Hey, at $.79 a dozen, that's an inexpensive art project that kept Olivia and her friend, Jane, busy for three hours. We not only colored them, but we painted them, stickered them, put hair on them, and we have a cool egg spinner that splashes paint all over them for a neat tie-dyed effect.

I love your new bedspread. It looks great! I'm starting to get the itch to change mine too. ;)Your kids look so grown up in these pics. Especially Haylee, it must be that she's upright.

I LOVE your new room. I can't believe you found that nightstand at a thrift store. I love it too! Mom was telling us Olivia spent 3 hours doing eggs. That's awesome.

I love your bedroom's new look! (More of that fabulous good taste being put to use!)
Looks like everyone had a great time coloring eggs... any pics of the finished products? I'll bet they were pretty!

I love your bedroom makeover too!!! I just LOVE makeovers-especially when there's before and after pictures! You did an awesome job! How did you do the beautiful leaf branches on the wall? Everything looks amazing! I cannot believe you got that nightstand for so darn cheap!?! Holy smokes that is awesome!!! I like it too. And I agree too your kids do look so grown up. Haylee is looking so much like Olivia I had to do a double take :] Both of your girls' hair is so beautiful and cute! It looks like you all have been having a wonderful time!

Love, Chelsea
