Decorating

Today was a fun family day...we spent the morning decorating the girls' bedrooms. Kaitlyn and Megan have a Tinkerbell theme and the walls are pink & green. Morgan & Madison's room has the Disney Prinesses and the walls are pink & purple. We had a blast putting up wallpaper borders and stickers in both rooms. Of course Tim got his creative spark going and started to build a 'treehouse' in the Tinkerbell room, made out of cardboard boxes...oh my! I tried to be a good sport, but finally had to pull him away from it to work on more imperative tasks. ;) After their bedrooms, we moved downstairs and started hanging pictures from our PA house. Once again, it's nice to feel that little piece of 'home' brought in. Then we hung new curtains in the Living Room - it was a great feeling to tear down those big old heavy vertical blinds! And guess what color curtains we put up?? Black! I never thought I would hang black curtains, but I think it looks nice and it's starting to come together. We also hung new vertical blinds in the Family Room. This was necessary due to the fact that half of the slats were missing or falling off - oh my! While I put the girls up for nap, Tim replaced the outside lights on the front porch and by the garage. He also replaced the deadbolt on the front door ... for obvious security reasons! And he hung a new mailbox on the front porch, which definitely needing updating. So after all of that hard work, we spent a nice night with the girls. After dinner, we made S'mores - a yummy, messy, fun treat which we all enjoyed! And then we had game night, where we made our first attempt at playing Chutes & Ladders and ended with a Dora ABC game, which the girls loved! So, now the To Do list will continue tomorrow, but for now it's time to enjoy our hard work and relax a bit in front of the TV! You gotta love the DVR! ;)
