Surprise Bedroom Makeover!!!

While the boys were away camping this weekend, the girls and I had a little fun of our own, making over the boys bedroom. As soon as they headed out of town we got to painting. My mom, Leslie, and the girls all helped.

Sadly, my mom ended up with a few more grey hairs after our day of painting :)

With the room painted and nothing to do but watch the paint dry, we decided to round up a few more sisters and head out for pedicures.

Next was dinner with Grandma, Kristy, Leslie, Brittany, Myself and the girls.

After dinner, Alaina, Hailey, and I went home, got into our P.J.’s then went back out to a 9:15pm showing of Shrek. Talk about a packed full of fun night!

When we got up the next morning we still had a lot of work ahead of us. We moved all of the furniture back in, built a new bed, sewed a few curtains, made beds, and put all of the finishing touches on the boys room. (Before Dan left he built a raised toddler bed out of Hudson’s old crib parts. He left me all of the bolts, wood and screws so it was super easy for me to assemble by myself. It turned out awesome and now the boys have a little fort below his bed!) Another favorite feature in the room was their very own, custom scoreboard. I saw one like this online for $139.00 and thought, “I bet I could make that for less”. Well… $40 later. ‘Viola’!

Dan gave us a 5 minute heads up call saying that they were in town and we took our places. I was in the fort, Hailey was on a bunk bed, and Alaina was hiding in their closet. The girls were so excited to show off what we had done!

The look on the boy’s faces says it all. I especially love the middle top picture where Alaina is just getting ready to jump out of the closet and yell, “SURPRISE!” Needless to say, the boys loved it!

Thanks for all the help guys!
