Kiki Strikes Again

Back in January, for Davis's second birthday my sister redid his room. From baby to big boy. My sister, Kiki, has an eye for doing these sorts of things. To see the results of her work on Davis's room you can click here to view them.

I had wanted to redo Emma's room for her birthday as well, back in March. We thought about finishing off the other half of our attic and moving the kids upstairs, so I waited. Then we thought about moving, so I put it off once again. I finally decided that it was time to fix it up some. I started looking for new window coverings. And lo and behold a few weeks ago I found some Hello Kitty shower curtains (fabric) on sale at Target. They had the matching shower hooks on sale as well and we were off for a new look for Emma's room. I put in a call to my decorator, the one and only Kiki and the pieces came together.

Today, Kiki and Uncle Patrick descended on Emma's room and worked their magic. After a few weeks of preparation and a few hours work at our house, Emma's room was transformed. It came complete with many special touches and it is full of things only her Kiki and Patrick can and would do.

Without any further ado, I give you Emma's new room.

A newly painted dresser and hutch with ALL of Emma's Care Bears. Notice the pink polka dots on the wall with Hello Kitty in the middle of some of them. Kiki's special touch.

Pretty cool huh? Yes, I know my kids have cool rooms. I know my sister has a unique talent for this and a special love for my kids to do it for them. And no you can not have her.

Thank you Kiki and Patrick for all your work. Mostly, thank you for being OUR Kiki and Patrick and for your love.

This is the Kiki. It came together really well. I hope that she enjoys it. And I would do it all again in a heartbeat for either of them. Truly comes from a place of love. The headboard is cool huh? Nice place to relax and read a book. NO more Care bears! ;) Love you, Kiki

OH, how awesome! And how great that you have a good family, that would do that kind of thing for you. I'm jealous.

Seeing your moldings, doors, and such, make me miss our farmhouse though. :( I remember you saying you lived in an older house, too.

That's also one of the good things about an older home - you can do what you want with it - paint the walls whatever colors you like. Glad to see others who aren't afraid of color!

Um, yea, color here. Our kitchen is bright yellow. Our bathroom is a deep purple as is the lower half of our dining room. Our computer room is red. Like KU Jayhawks red. The only room that is tame is the living room. It is a sponge affect of off white and tan color.

LOVE color! When we move, all the rooms will be getting color.

We really want to paint some of the walls of our house - Eric actually brought it up last night -but we both fear we won't actually be living here very long, so we're not sure. The boring white walls drive me bonkers!

Our last house had a bright pink, green and orange kitchen, Samantha's room had a different color on each wall and the floor, and Guthrie's room was striped like a stoplight!

I'll Do It Better In My Next Thirty years

Today is doomsday. At 9:05 a.m on this very day thirty years ago my mother gave birth to me. I have done the "Holy crap, where did the years go?" I have done the "When did *I* get so freaking old?" I have cried and been mad and upset. I have looked at my life and realized it was NOT what I thought it would be at thirty. In both good and bad ways. I have run the gamut, so to speak and frankly now I am worn completely out. I am done. I went through getting old sucks . I spent time reminiscing about Swatch watches from back in the day. I have shed tears over my babies not being babies anymore . I tired to stop thirty from coming and realized that it was inevitable. I even got my friends to realize that we are indeed getting old. So today, as I move on in life and have to start checking a new box on forms, I still stand by my very first post on getting older. I think Tim McGraw has it right. My Next Thirty Years I think I'll take a moment, celebrate my age The en...

It Is Official...

I am now officially a participant in the NaBloPoMo . What is this you ask? It is an alternative to National Novel Writing Month, otherwise known as, NaNoWriMo . The goal of NaNoWriMo is to write a 50,000 word novel during the month of November. Since I lack focus, which some like to call adult ADD, there is no way I could do that. So, enter NaBloPoMo. Besides sounding funnier, it is a much more doable thing for me. The goal of this? Post an entry to my blog every day for the entire month of November. You heard it folks. You will be blessed with some random something from me EVERY DAY for the ENTIRE month of November. I am even on the Official List. I am, really. You can go look. Now you may be asking yourself how you got so lucky. And I can not give you the answer to that. All I can say is that you can look forward to me rambling about basically nothing for the whole month. So sit back and enjoy the ride. Now, if I could only figure out how the hell to put up my button and get it to hy...
