Decor Fun


I promised the kiddo's months ago that we could decorate their bedrooms. It is slow, and ongoing. They may think it is fun, but a career in interior decorating is not in my future. I have now come to realize there needs to be more on the walls besides fresh paint, fingerprints, and/or Elizabeth's impromptu wall art. My idea was to take some goofy/fun pics of the kids and put them in frames. I have picked a few of my favorites. The kids loved this little project!
My friend Jenny keeps asking me to take pictures of the rooms and post them. I will, once I feel like they actaully look like I tried. They are no where near that yet. For now, I will just say the girls room is pink, and not becuase I like pink, I don't. I just caved to their incessant pleas for pink. It isn't as bad as I thought. We are going for a dinosaur theme in the boys room, so the walls are "dino" green, I love it! With all the awesome fossils we have collected with grandpa it is looking pretty good. Thanks Grandpa R for all the fossil hunting adventures!
