Painting a Room 101

I cannot believe we actually we did it. It is not perfect, but it is the lovely blue Ryan wanted so much. He even helped. A little. See how happy he looks??




Before: very faded baby blue.




After: Blue blue on blue- with blue on the side!!

Goodbye Loft Bed!

Emily had the loft bed for just about a year and then decided she didn't like sleeping up in the air. Daddy was SO happy to take it apart! He bundled it up, printed out directions, gathered all the hardware, made a big sign saying "Free Ikea Loft Bed-all hardware and parts included. Almost new". That sucker was gone within ten minutes. Wow.



Hello, New Bed!! Made by her great grandpa, a long time ago....

Michele being young. Made me laugh.

Emily & Kaitlin & Jessica

Em has been good pals with the twins since Kindergarten. Their latest sleepover was an extravaganza: dressing up & making funny films & doing Harry Potter scenes. They are all adorable, no matter how grown up they get!! They are also very loud. =)

A quiet moment



Rewind time a bit......



Rewind a bit more!!

Goodbye, old dead hot tub......
