Welcome Spencer...

As I sit here and blog..I still have not seen Spencer! He got into the airport at 5:30ish, where Paul, Braden and Ethan picked him up. I had to drive Kailey to Hanover this evening, so I wasn't able to go. Naturally the first thing the boys do when they get home is take off and run the roads! Not sure where they went, I am hoping they will be home soon. It would be nice to see Spencer!! LOL, They are probably having a great time catching up...meeting up with old friends.
We have been working so hard these past couple days to get the two bedrooms cleared out and ready for the 2 boys who we are thrilled to be having spend some time with us. Below is the before shot of the spare bedroom..which Ethan has claimed as his room and the after shot...

We had these curtains in a spare room and they didn't match anymore...they are perfect in this room. Obvioulsy we haven't had the chance to decorate the bedroom yet..a few pictures on the walls will work nice. I took Ethan to Ikea yesterday and let him pick out a lamp for this room. He had fun, and chose the one on the dresser...it looks great! I was happy with his choice!!

The other bedroom is still not finished, we need to do the baseboards and hem the curtains and decorate the walls. The wall color is a nice soft grey which matches the ensuite bathroom. I love the color and it will match with the things that are eventually going in that room. For now, Spencer will call it home!! Its his bedroom to sleep in and a place that if he needs some time to himself he can hang in there.

AFTER...





This room is far from perfect and we have a long way to go...but it did use to be Kailey's bedroom and on the wall between the windows there use to be a painted mural of a garden. So, it offically looks more grown up and not little girlish anymore...which kinda makes me sad! But, on a happier note...there is alot more room and Braden is thrilled to be getting more space. I am looking forward to decorating this room, of course with Braden's input!!
