Labor Day Weekend

Well we did it. . we finally got Chloe moved up into her new room and we all love it. The room turned out great -- the walls are just beautiful and I found some bright pink shag rugs on sale at Target that really make the room "pop" (as I learned is important from all those design shows I watch!). We'll post more pictures of the new room later this week.

We also managed to get Chloe's old room turned into our TV room. Craig spent a few hours getting the TV/DVD/Stereo, blah blah blah hooked up. Crazy that it is so hard to just hook up a TV these days, and we moved our old sofa into the TV room. It is not the most attractive room in the house, but it is growing on me.

I think the only thing Chloe will miss is climbing the big ladder that was in her new room for so long while we were in paint mode.




We didn't get out too much this weekend. Friday afternoon Chloe's friend Franny came for a visit. Franny has a new baby brother, so she came over for a bit so her dad could spend time with the new baby. They had a blast together, as usual.



We made a quick trip to the State Fair on Monday. Chloe enjoyed seeing all the animals, although initially she was a bit timid.



And, Chloe's hair continues to grow. Here is a style her teacher gave her one day. Craig really wants to cut it, but I'm holding off. . soon, soon. . at least we'll get it cleaned up for her a bit.
