Busy with Emily's Room and fun with the kids

Easter Morning:
Mason and Emily did great finding all of the eggs and thought it was pretty cool how many eggs were around. They loved their little baskets with just little things in it. After the egg hunt Tim made us a beautiful breakfast that was delicious! It was a beautiful day with the family and much needed relaxed day!




Well, we finally finished Emily's room! And we love it! We stripped the walls and plastered the big cracks last weekend and sanded all the trim and walls. Then Sunday I painted for almost 12 1/2 hours but got the room painted and a few coats on her bed and dresser. So then the rest of this past week I painted the bed and dresser a few more times (5 coats each total) , I made the curtains, redid the shelving in the closet and paited the mirror for her room. Then Saturday we tore out the old carpet and took on replacing the carpet. Tim had never done it before but did an awesome job! Overall, my little girl loves her new girly room and so do we! A lot of work but soooo happy with the outcome! Now we are just a little more motivated to do the rest of the house.....which means many many more hours of painting in my future! But so worth it in the long run when you see the finished product!

Tim used a knee kicker to stretch the carpet and tore apart his knees so the kids wanted to help the boo boo's . So the kids went and got the camoflage and dora bandaids and fixed him right up.They love taking good care of their daddy!

Great job on Em's room, Abby! Sadie and Brynn have the same little kitchen set-up! We are painting like crazy too over here - working on the basement. I've thought about re-doing their room, but it's SO MUCH WORK! It looks great, good job! :)

Great job on Emily's room! I love it! I'm sure that feels like quite the accomplishment after all the hard work you put into it. I love it that it's so girly :)
