Clean up on aisles 1,2,3,4....

Bill got a pay check the other day and it was kind of cool! We have quite a bit of 'catch up' on bills to do, but it didn't stop us from dreaming about all the fun things we want to do to our home someday. We focused our Family Night on this theme and we let the kids go wild in Lowes with their ideas:



Window ideas for the attic (which they decided would become Harrison's room).



Area rug for the kitchen...








Bill is a very selective shopper...


Wall colors for attic....


Rustic wood flooring for attic....





Groovy new appliances for the kitchen...







Oh yea, I could cook some good stuff on this!









Lights for attic


















Lights for the kitchen....








and Danni made sure the toys were working.
It was fun to see what the kids liked. It was a bit scary to see the prices of everything, it's going to be a few paychecks before we make some of those changes!

We did that the other day. But ours is with furniture, we went and looked at lamps and decided on the ones we like and once we finished the project of redoing the nightstands we got to buy them. (they were the cheapest that lowes had or anywhere really) It was a great way to get us moving to finish the project.

Home Depot is a dangerous place for me to go because I see everything and it makes me what to do a MAJOR overhaul of all the things in our home that bother me...even if it's just a little. We've made so many trips there that when Ella's playing in her dollhouse I've overheard her say "We're going to Home Depot". She loves going there just as much as I do! Maybe we'll have to make our next FHE an outing like you guys.

I love home improvement stores. It's so fun to wander up and down the aisles and dream of the day when you won't have to look at the price tags!

I just can't get over how much older your kids are looking. They're growing up into beautiful young adults!
