I really wish that I had some before pictures of our dining room. I'm not sure that you can fully appreciate our new room without seeing the old nasty green curtains, or nasty green paint, or the nasty green painted window and door frames. It looks so much better now. And the dining room is now also officially Miles' favorite room in the house because it is all blue.
The curtains, made by me, are made out of the same fabric as the chair seats. Spencer was even brave enough to glue the wobbly chairs back together. It's like having a new dining room table set. No fingers are allowed to wipe themselves on the chairs.
Note the new silver chandelier and silver curtain rods...all spraypainted so that we didn't have to buy any new ones. And the lovely stripes were painted by Spencer and I. I love when Spencer has spring break and needs a project to work on.


All of the children truely enjoyed watching Levi has his moment of fame. No child has had a bigger cheering section than Levi. Spencer did a great job capturing most of the kids in this next picture. Corbin is there too, just hiding behind my head.
But unfortunately all good things have to end, and the second day of cereal Levi wouldn't open his mouth at all. I guess he had figured out what was happening and thought it's better to nurse than to eat bland rice cereal. Hmmmm, we'll try again tonight. 
I think that the term "Tickled Pink" would definately apply to Ella-marie. She has been in heaven all day long. I still think it's amazing that I could have tried so hard for so long to make sure that she didn't like pink...and yet what do we have? Why, a girl who wears pink every single day and who's favorite color is pink and who wants a pink cake! Where did I go wrong??
