Our Aweful Beautiful Life

While we watched many of our friends head south for Spring Break, we stuck around cold and gray Indiana. However we tried to add some light and bright new to our lives by giving each of the kids rooms a simple little makeover. We added color to each of the kids rooms, bought some new decor, and cleaned, cleaned cleaned. We were all quite pleased with the way things turned out. Emmalyn's room went to a gray, with pops of teal and coral. We had a blast at Hobby Lobby and practiced self-control by not buying EVERY little decor item that would match! Colton's room was up next and with the accumulation of banners he's earned in his first few years in the Cattle Barn, we kind of decided to use that as our theme. We painted the walls a light gray, then hung white lattice on a wall that he could hang all his ribbons and banners on through the years. We put trophies on the opposite wall and moved a tv and dvd player into his room. Hard to believe we have a pre-teen, who's...

We had a great day -- we tumbled, baked, dug legos out of the trash bag in Emmalyn's room (dumpster diving is a handed down trait in the Hall family! HAHA). We even snuck these little Cavaliers into the Frontier Elementary to have lunch with their big cousins. It was a great day! <3    Keaton and Colton  got to spend a "e-learning day" trucking with Grandpa Kent, Uncle Trent and the Clark boys. Lord pray for what Ross taught Keaton ...
