Room Deocrating Ideas

Okay, I am going to do it this time. I am still at the dining room table listening to Nathan, Seth and Luke babble to themselves, but I am really going to post this time.

I'm trying to think of what's happened since I posted last. I don't even know when that was. But if I say, we are at our dad's, we've gone to Idaho several times and seen Danielle for dinner once, that pretty much sums it up. For Anna's birthday she had a Glitter Toes party. It's this really big thing in Utah. It's sort of like acrylic nails for your toes and it's glitter. Yes, there is real glitter on them. I still have mine on. It was really fun. For Father's Day we were going to get together with Diane's family and welcome home Grandpa Orgill from the hospital (he had a stroke in March), but for several different reasons it got postponed and then canceled all together. Diane was going to make homemade Oreos for that and she said she would make them anyway, but she still hasn't made them! Hopefully, she will soon. We are going to Seven Peaks tomorrow. It's a water park. I've never been, but the boys say it's really fun, so we'll see.

I've been thinking a lot about decorating mine and Anna and Gracie's rooms when we get back to California. I get the small loft. If you put two twin mattresses on the floor it pretty much takes up the whole space. Anna and Gracie get the one room to share. Mom agreed to let me decorate the rooms a while ago, but I have to pay for it. I'm obviously paying for my room and I'll probably have Anna pay for half of her room. Gracie hardly has any money and I'm not making her pay for decorating. Mom said she would pay for paint and carpet. She said she would also buy new bed spreads for us. Yea! Mine is worn out and Anna and Gracie's just don't match the theme. Which is, beach... ocean. You get it. The carpet is going to be blue and about two feet up the wall is also going to be blue, also. Then the rest of the wall is going to be kind of peachy pink for a sunset look. We have three surf board rugs that will help tie together the look and I will also cut out some fish with my Cricut to put on the blue part of the wall. Maybe some flowers on the pink part, I'm not sure. I've got lots of ideas and I can't wait to actually decorate. I am worried about organization, though. Our room in Redlands was pretty much always a mess. The room won't look cute if it's a mess! Hopefully, we will be able to keep this one clean. Or at least be able to see the floor. :)

My room isn't coming along as well. The theme is personal progress or Young Women. The walls are going to be pale pink to match the color of the personal progress book. I just can't think or ideas. Especially since I have so little space. The walls go up probably almost four feet tall and then there isn't much of a ceiling. I mean of course there's a roof, but the ceiling is basically rafters. I think that's what they're called. I can stand up in between them, but other than that I will be kneeling up there. So, I won't be able to fit too much. Oh well, I'll make it work. But if any of you have any ideas for Anna and Gracie's room or for mine feel free to comment. My mind is wide open for ideas. Thanks! I love you!

What to post?

What to post, what to post. I am typing on my dad's computer in our dining room in Utah trying to think of something to post while Nathan and Anna are randomly talking. I am randomly getting into the random conversation. I started this post like... ten minutes ago and I haven't gotten very far. Oh, and now Seth is in here wearing his skeleton gloves while playing on his DSIXL. I think we are going to eat lunch, now. I'm sorry. I promise I will post soon, though. But honestly, my brothers are very distracting. Sigh. Anyway, I love you all!
