I haven't even gotten to the Easter post yet. Yeah, I'm that behind...
Anyway, since we were already most of the way to Vegas, we figured we'd head over there after St. George to visit my sister, Michelle's family.
We just love driving, what can I say??
Especially with these crazies. Let's just say, on the way home, we drove in the middle of the night...
Anyway...
It was the ideal vacation for me, because we totally got our "craft" on! So, a while back (OK, last summer), my Mom and I helped Michelle make this cute queen-sized strip quilt for her daughter, Sydney's room. We had lots of visions of what the room would look like to match the quilt, but hadn't done anything yet...until NOW!
So, we planned on painting the room and then putting some flourishes around Sydney's name in block letters (that was already above her bed on the wall...) So we just had to paint over the pink and brown stripes and go from there! Michelle wanted me to paint the flourishes I painted in Claire's room, so that's where we got the idea. And in keeping it simple, we left the wall behind the bed pink, and did the flourishes in white, modpodged her letters with some turquoise paper, and painted the rest of the room a buttercream color. The end!
Workin'! Michelle looks hot even at work! (which is why there is no picture of me here...)
Gavin, hard at work! (He was actually really happy to be sanding-- but Jordan had him make that face :)
Sydney in her "paint clothes..." an old bathing suit, haha!
Here's the wall once the flourishes were done...just a few touch ups more and need to take some screws out...
SO ADORABLE, right???
So, we also did a couple of other things:
They also got their "cry" on:
But not all at once, fortunately :)
I got my "nose gazing," or should I say, "nose coveting" on...
What a lovely new nose you have, Michellie :)
And then we got out Red Rock on!!
Notice how I wore the most idiotic outfit for hiking? What can I say...I was running out of clothes...
We will be coming back. I mean, look at these cuties:

And here it is completed!! We couldn't be more proud!
SO ADORABLE, right???
So, we also did a couple of other things:
For example, Claire learned out to make the plastic tiger bite her face..."look, no hands!"
And she also enhanced photos with her signature Chucky!
The kids also got their craft on!!
Um, the birdhouse, not the chair, Monkey.
A little better, but a brush would be nice...
(Ps. So you notice how the birdhouse is this weird blue color? Well, apparently that color is the mixed result of every paint available at the table)
