Sweet moments

Most mornings prayer is said pretty quickly right before Hannah and Chris have to rush out the door. One morning this past week, Cael and Bekah were playing in the kids' room while Chris rushed back in with Hannah, said a prayer real quick and then rushed back out. After the door slammed behind them I realized it was really quiet in the bedroom. So I went to check on the two hooligans that were left. Before I even got to the hallway I heard Cael softly saying a prayer. After he finished with saying amen, Bekah said 'thanks Cael for saying a prayer!' And even though they were fighting just five minutes later it still made for a sweet moment that melted my heart.

Bedroom Makeover

Last spring we took on the task of redoing the kids' bedroom. Bekah was moving out of the crib and so we needed a new bunkbed anyways. I figured that made for a good excuse to makeover their bedroom. 

Ikea spice racks made into book shelves

I didn't want to make the room to girly so we painted an accent wall with stripes and one yellow stripe just for Cael

This wall makes me happy. I can't stewing over it for months, rearranging and then rearranging some more. I love how it turn out. 

I'm so impressed with Chris' skills. We decided to go with the smaller ikea mattresses which meant that Chris would have to come up with his own bunkbed plan. I think he did a really amazing job!
