updates

A lot has been going on lately. I guess a big part of that has to do with the season and the end of the semester approaching. I've also been on the road a lot with my job. It's been fun to get away from the everyday and to get some time to see my sister while at my last stop.

Last weekend was our first snowstorm. It just so happened that my children were spending the weekend with their auntie. They got quite the surprise when they came home. With money from their great-grandpa, Poppy Don, I was able to paint and decorate their room a little bit.


This is their cozy-corner. They really like to snuggle in there together to watch a movie or to read a while. It used to be fort-like with old pillows collected from every possible area in the house. Now it's much more "spacious".








This is the finished product of their bunk-beds. Emma's up top. She considers this space to be her "room", so I tried to give her some privacy, thus the tie-dye curtain on the front. If you look closely, you will see that her back wall is red and orange flames on a black background. She would have loved to have the entire room painted that way, which could not have happened. At least now her "room" has some of her favorite decor. The bottom bunk belongs to Katie. She now has a fuzzy green pillow that matches her comforter. She is very excited to have a room where most things match and coordinate. She's a decorater and organizer at heart, so she was screaming with delight when she walked into this room.


That's about it for us in the last couple of weeks. I am home today with Emma. She's feeling really under the weather with a nasty, nasty cough. And what better way to spend a sick day at home.......
That's her spending some 45 minutes with Archie and Jughead. Who knew??
