When Things Start Getting Unsure...Just Decorate.

My way of self-soothing is to organize and decorate.
The girls were leaving...one week to go. Vicki was bummed.
So I got Haley to help me paint her room..."So it will look
fresh and clean when you come home." And that led to sewing
pillows...and covering chairs and bedding and re-framing things.
And then after-all, it was not fair for Kenz...
so we needed to jazz up her room too.

I still didn't feel better.
Then we left for Utah, and had to decorate their apartment.
(Haley is breaking Kenz in this summer term.
Isn't that sweet?
Then they split up for fall)

So we decorated and organized all weekend
and now I am home...
alone.
I think I better start working on my room,
Maybe that will make me feel better..?



Hay's room at home--ya it is fresh all right. And empty.


And Kenzie's clean room.
I should make it my sewing room or sumpin.


And this is where I left them.


Hay's room...Yes I made them sit up and pose for this picture.
Lastly, Kenzie's room.
She wasn't missing home when I left...not even looking back.



The jury is still out on
"will she make her bed?"

Vicki!
The rooms are darling, just like the little mama in the empty nest who is a bit out of sorts:) Trust me, it gets easier and they come back home for visits...and longer! You also will be traveling for visits and new adventures await you and the good Doctor. Let's plan a play date or a remodel soon~
