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 interests are changing everyday..
Keaton's room was last and like all good projects, his strung on the longest. Again with gray, we topped his room with a Cubs/baseball theme.
Now, Spring Break can't be all work and no play, right? We enjoyed our first Purdue Baseball game with Krystle and the boys -- which was great when we were in the sun and COLD when we were in the shade. But, they had beers for us Momma's and they were SO generous to the kids.
We capped off the week with a quick trip to Fair Oaks Farms with Grandma & Grandpa Hall. It doesn't matter to me how many times we've been there -- it's always fun to go back! We had a great trip and got to see all the exhibits -- dairy cows, pigs, and the new grains exhibit.
We may not have traveled far, but we packed family and fun into our week off school! Next up - baseball, working cattle and waiting for warmer weather to arrive!
