end result

I got the redecorating bug the other day. I was sick of every single room in our house. Brian would kill me if I redecorated very much so I decided to take on the kids bathroom. I have been wanting to do something in there for a long time as we have had it purple and black for a long time, and change was IN ORDER!
I went back and forth between a few ideas, like pirates or under the water and finally decided on BRIGHTS!

Bathroom Before:
Bathroom After:Favorite idea and item in bathroom:
I had the kids hand paint these canvases in only the bathroom colors to put above the toilet and i love how they turned out. I love the whole bathroom. And it got out my bug to redecorate!
Our friends had us over for dinner and play tonight, always super good and super fun. Thanks guys!

Well we got a bunk Bed last weekend for the kids, since they will be sharing a room when baby comes. The baby furniture was all moved into Natalies room and all the rest moved into Stephens room. But Stephen is so not ready to be moved into a big bed yet, nor do I want them sharing a room yet... so he sleeps with the girly stuff on the walls, and Nat sleeps in Stephens room on the bunk and she LOVES it! Once we finish decorating in there I will post some pictures.

Nat started her second round of swimming lessons today and she got bumped up to preschool intermediate! The only thing she wont do in class is put her head under. Oh well, she is improving tons! I am glad we have her in the classes though since this summer is KILLER hot. It has been over 100 so many days now and the only time I am happy is sprawling out in the kiddie pool with some ice in hand. Seriously, this is going to be a long summer!

We also have been working on her "f" pronunciation with her. She will say it with a P sound. So I will say, Natalie say fffffffffff-lower. And she will repeat "ffffff-power" I am giving up, she will get it when she gets it! She wont do it forever so I am not at all worried or concerned about it!

Stephen is talking so much and is getting into more and more, if that is even possible. He is running faster, jumping higher, and doing more than I thought he ever could! I think he is the reason for my contractions, I think I should put myself on bed rest when he is awake! Probably the cutest things he says right now is "ko-kay" for ok, and the worst but still sadly kinda cute... "yucky boogers" while his finger slides up past his knuckle into his nostril. He is for sure a boy. Anyway, he is a special spirit and he brightens my day every second of it, even if he is busy busy!

I have said it before and I will say it again, I love being a momma. What a blessing!

LOVE the bathroom! The artwork is fantastic! And when you get the urge to redecorate in a couple years, you can change the bathroom and let the kids keep their artwork. Perfect!

Thanks for making our Monday night not so boring! Sorry Shelby was so cranky. I don't know what I am going to do with that child.
