Lakehouse Re-do Update

Last weekend Mendy, Kinley and I headed out to the lakehouse on Thursday night for a girls work-weekend at the lake. We concentrated on Mendy & Alex's room. We have had the paint for their room for months but, this summer has been so busy that we have not been back to the lakehouse to work since June. We worked fast and furious and got their room painted and 14 panel curtains made (13 for Alex & Mendy's room and 1 for Kinley's room). We painted during Kinley's nap and both brought our sewing machines and busted out the curtains after she went to bed. Friday the Barstads came out to visit us because Tyler is only like 45 minutes away from the lakehouse....no pics from this for some reason...but, we played in the lake and Kinley LOVED having the kids around to play. We will have to do that more often. Ben also ended up coming to spend the night Friday night and he thought we were crazy for loving to sew and paint for the whole weekend.

Kinley ate some chips on Alex & Mendy's bed while we finished painting. She loved it.
