Will and Charlie's Room

Don't worry that it took me forever to get the boys' room decorated. I think my lack of pregnancy energy had something to do with it:) I still don't have window treatments up because I keep debating about what to do. I would love to slowly convert all of my blinds to bamboo shades but I have to get the ones you can't see through and they are a little pricey. I have thought about putting up panels or roman shades and I just can't figure it out, so it will just have to sit until I can make a decision. (sorry that the pictures are kind of in a random order, I could not get it to work right)

Before


After

I found a duvet cover and matching fabric at Downeast before we even built this house and I knew I wanted to use it for Charlie's room, so it worked out great when we had to get bunk beds for the boys. I just made another duvet and used some of the extra fabric to cover my $9 junk store bench (which I kind of love). The red pillows were $5 at Wal-mart and I also got the boys matching sheets from their Better Homes and Gardens line for only $12 and they have washed up awesome!! My mother-in-law and sister-in-law made their super cute quilts that each have their initial on them and kind of tie in all of the colors of the room. One of my favorites is their dog pillows, I LOVE this fabric (premierprintsinc.com), it kind of ties in their dog lamp which I also paired with a Wal-mart lamp shade.

I love this mustard yellow dresser that was also a junk store purchase, I loved the lines of it and its spindle legs, and decided to keep it the original color because its just kind of fun!

My mom helped me put together this collage wall. I love pictures of my boys but for some reason I never quite know how to display them. I went back through the years and framed some of my favorites, and now sometimes I just come into their room to look at the pictures because they make me smile. I think that is one reason I love decorating so much, I think your home should make you smile:)

Easter and Spring Break

I love having out a few easter and spring decorations, they give me the hope of warmer weather and sunshine. And I don't have the energy to switch them out at the moment so I'm sure the bunnies will be around until May, not a biggie.

My parents were out of town for easter so the Monday before we went to dinner and then dyed easter eggs. The boys of course loved it, messiness and all.

I love arranging the easter baskets and setting them out the night before. I don't think my boys really expected anything that morning and were surprised and excited with their little prizes (a pack of pokemon cards and a dollar bill goes a long way:). We did our best to watch conference and then headed over to Trevor's parents for easter dinner.

We didn't go anywhere for spring break but we actually kept pretty busy. I took the boys to see "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" which they loved, possibly because of all the gross little boy humor in it. And then my sister-in-law Madison and I took the boys down to Ogden, we ate at the Pizza Factory which was delicious (kids eat free Tuesday, gotta appreciate that!) and then we walked over the the Treehouse Museum (I left my camera in the car) we had a great time and the boys and I love being with Madi, she is such an amazing aunt!

On Friday my mom and Grandma and I took the boys to Baby Animal Days, although it was a bit chilly we had a lot of fun. Not too many people, and the boys even got to see daddy and grandpa Booth working the Coppermill booth, that's why I love our small valley!
