I had great plans for conference weekend, none of them included Hannah being sick with a cough and fever. Needless to say my plans changed and because we were stuck in the house I decided I wanted to do something drastic in the house.
I started thinking about our "red room" as we call it, and how it is basically nothing but a storage room that is getting junkier by the minute. When we bought this house I wanted to make it a mud room, but Cam didn't. Later we thought we would make it an extra/guest bedroom. It is pretty small and would basically fit a queen bed tightly and a small dresser. Well we have never made the effort to have enough funds to buy the bed etc.
After Christmas, and since we have had Hannah I started putting all the decorations and baby items Hannah grew out of. It was not pretty.
Today, I cleaned, boxed, and organized and made the "red room" into a Play room for the kids. I am not done yet, I want to get some shelves and Carson painted some pictures to hang on the walls. I also have only moved in a few of the kids toys. But overall, I am happy with the project!

And the semi finished after...

well you know, everyone needs to have a 'secret room' in their house. mine is my bedroom. :) cute idea though.
I just haven't figured out how to share my blog with friends yet. Should I just put the website in an email and send it to people?
Oh, and I would love to go hiking. I miss the mountains so much. I can feel this magnetic pull toward the mtn. when its been more than a week. :) its been a couple of weeks since I went. we should go together, definitely.
Good Idea! The kids will love just having there own play room, they can keep it messy to, right mom.
Yep! That was a great idea for that room!
