My new *little* project...

The kids room is (has been) in need of a drastic update. My kids arent babies anymore (tear), and they need a room that doesnt look like a nursery. Good Bye Snuggle Bugs wall paper.

So, I've been shopping around online, and brainstorming ideas. And I think I finally have the picture in my head of what the finished product is going to look like. Some plaster on the walls, new paint, a new border, new curtains...Its going to look great!

Here are the before shots....

Those "Curtains" were my solution for the early morning sun that wakes me kids WAY before they need to be. Clever, arent I.

We were lucky enough that this room had a walk-in closet. We took of the crazy-retro-mirrored-doors (because EEwww) and now the kids have a place for all their zillion toys. Of course, not all the toys will fit in here. That would make it too easy.

Happy Halloween!

Halloween is done and over, and it was a BLAST! It was a far cry from last year. Last October, Ally was walking, but not far distances. Joey refused to wear a costume. And when we did get it on him he screamed and thrashed around like his Thomas the Train costume was eating him alive.

This year the kids were SO excited to participate in as much Halloween fun as we could squeeze into a 24 hour period.

Halloween Pancake Breakfast. Are you impressed? My kids sure were.

Followed by a Halloween Party at Monkey Business. Ally is dressed as Tinker Bell and Joey as Peter Pan.

Next, came the fun part! TRICK OR TREAT!

And then one of my favorite pictures. Two smiling happy kids.

Hope your Halloween was as spectacular as ours was!
