Spring cleaning... in June

So, here I am finally having time to Spring clean my house. The thing that really got me motivated is that the young women in our ward are having a huge yard/bake sale to earn money for girl's camp. So, I figured, if I cleaned I would have stuff to give them. I completely rearranged my bedroom. Brookelyn's room and Kira's room finally have stuff hanging on the walls (I know a whole year later) and I rearranged our front room a little bit. I took pictures because I know that it will not look like this for very long (hopefully at least 15 days then it will be good for a month unless Arik is a pig (which I know he is not)).

Another thing I did was try and decorate my house a little bit (shocking, I know). So here are some pics.

This is the bathroom wall. I finally hung my candle holder up. The nice thing is that the candles are green to go with the paint.

For my birthday, I was given some money so I went and bought a book case that could hold all my books. I know that I will have to move hte pictures from the top shelf someday (once I get another book) but for now it is nice).
I decorated Brookelyn's room and gave her my old bookcase. She wanted to make sure I got enough pics of her room (so there are three). She is counting down the days until we are in Texas.

Yes, that is a High School Musical 3 poster on the left side. She told me where is wanted everything hung.

Her new bookcase (to her) and all her books and stuff on it.

I was told that I had to have a picture of Kira's room too. So here it is. The pink board has all the B's on it from Pres. Hinckley. It is so clean!! I also exchanged all the clothes so she now is whering 3T stuff.

A year and a half ago we got big family pictures done with my dad's side of the family. It was for my grandparent's 50th. I finally got picture frames for them and hung them up (okay Arik hung them). This is one of the walls in our front room. I love that all the family pics are in cherry wood frames and that the picture of Christ and the Proclamation are in gold making them the focal point.Here is a pic of my front room. I rearranged the couches. It will only stay this clean for so long. In the corner where the Princess chair is, is where my piano will go when I get it from my in laws.

It has been raining a ton here. Much more than usual. It doesn't help when you want fires! One of the great things about the rain is the rainbows that come with it. This is what I saaw out of front door. You saw the whole thing, I couldn't get a pic of it all because it was still raining.

So here are the real reasons you all look at this blog. Here is Kira. The outfit she is wearing is 4 top and 4T bottoms. She is just getting too big too fast.

Here is Brookelyn. That is her smile. This is her "High School Musical" shirt. It actually has nothing to do with it but that is what she calls it. It really fits her.
