Surprise!!!!

My mom went out to California to take care of my sister Julie (she's prego and really sick) for 10 days. My sister Jennifer and I thought it would be fun to redo my parents family room for my mom while she was gone. (My mom was planning on painting when she got back and had already bought the paint.) We had no idea what we were really getting ourselves into, but I'm really glad we stuck with it. We took spray paint to items in the room that she already had to update things. And with a little bit of elbow grease and fresh paint, it looks like a totally different room!!!  
oops.. I got my knee in this picture. 

We do not remember days we remember Moments

I think this room was a surprise... 
what do you think???


These are pictures I took of my nephews and nieces to put around the room. We are missing pictures of Lacie because she was out of town, and Emma b/c she lives in Cali. I'll have to get pictures of them later.
