Changing it up in 2010!

     Our bedroom hasn't seen any changes since September of 2001 when we moved into our house.  It was time for a change.  Needless to say, there's been more change in our bedroom than in the White House.  For Christmas my sweet husband promised to paint and update our bedroom.  I picked out a new bedding set and he has been painting away all week.  Today he got a lot finished so I could take this picture.  He still has to complete our closet and bathroom but I am excited about how it is looking so far despite the carpet stains I still need to steam away.  One funny little story about this project - Craig went through our room the first day and spackled all the little knicks on our walls that needed to be painted over.  The spackle is white.  Later that day Caroline walked through our room and made the comment to me, "Oh no Mommy, look a bird pooped on your wall."  She was serious, it was so funny.  This past month or so that girl notices bird poop on any and everything.  I don't know what has inspired this latest trend but it's rather funny.
     So Craig's been busy painting and I busied myself today while the kids took naps and I cleaned up the kitchen.  I love the way white cabinets & appliances look but they are so hard to keep clean.  Last New Years Craig & I pulled out the appliances and cleaned the floor and their sides.  I continued that cleaning tradition today.  It's amazing how much gunk is behind my stove.  It's disgusting ~ well not anymore! 

     I also wanted to share some sweet pictures of the youngest two playing tea party.  Caroline pulled all her picnic stuff out to the porch and made a tea party.  Cooper just loved it ~ as you can see by the look on his face. 

Here is Caroline showing me her teeth.  I was trying to get her to smile.  She's something else!

Well Happy New Year to all!  I hope this year is full of wonderful changes!
