Alivia and Mia's New Room

So the baby is coming soon and we thought after living in our house for over 2yrs it was about time we painted the girls room, which is also the play room in our house. Alivia couldn't wait, we got her and Mia new pink bedding instead of the old blue "boy" bedding, pictures painted by her Tia Tate, a nice wreath, a few more pics, and some bright flowers painted on the wall. It really does brighten up a room and it seems like my kids will actually play in there for longer than a minute now before dragging all there toys in the hall and into my room. So that's good. The one thing it is still missing for me is curtains, but those can wait until I find something I like. Here's the almost finished product. It took me a while to get these, by the way, because it is usually not this clean.


My big helper

My sisters and I use to all sleep on this bed when we were little. My dad always called it "shin barker" for obvious reasons.

My sister Taylor painted these pictures

This is my Granny's old dresser and my Little Red Riding Hood Picture

Alivia's favorite flowers are the yellow, I like the pink myself.
