I must do this a lot...

I got after Annie the other day for something or other, and sent her to her room. After a cooling down period for both of us, I headed for her room with Logan on my heels. Annie was lying in bed with the covers up over her head. I knelt down beside her and apologized for getting angry. The whole time I was talking to her Logan kept trying to get her out of bed to play, but she kept brushing him off. When I finally finished and started to leave the room, Annie sprang out of bed and said, "Okay, Bubba, now I can play with you. I was just waiting for mommy to come in and say sorry to me."

I love both my children, so lest anyone think otherwise, here is Logan's room:

Kind of dark, and kind of a weird angle, but here you go!

New and Improved

A LOT has happened in the last several months, including my husband finishing his Secret Service training and our family moving to Colorado. An exciting change that went along with all of this was being able to buy our first home! It was an interesting experience going through that process while my husband and I were in different states and we were buying a home in another state and yada, yada, yada. But it worked out great and we are really excited! I love that I can finally throw some paint on the walls and put nail-holes wherever I want to.

Our first order of business for the home was painting Annie's room. Since the whole "we're moving to Denver" process has started, we've promised Annie she could have a room decorated however she wanted. Her immediate request was a "purple princess room". She has not wavered on that at all, so we felt a strong obligation to deliver. After a few coats of "grape-o-licious", here's what we have:

She loves it, but also asks why some of the trees are square, so maybe I didn't get it exactly right. Oh, well! We are having fun!
