Crazy Pink

Being a teacher, I'm often asked each spring what my summer plans are. Many people seem surprised when I tell them that I do absolutely nothing but spend the summer with Gabi. I do not have the luxury of being a stay at home mom like my mom was but I am fortunate to have summers off. I hope to get alot accomplished this summer around the house. So far June seems to be off to a productive start. Gabi and I painted her room today. Gabi loves it but I don't know if I'm crazy about the color. It is crazy pink and the name describes it perfectly. We probably should have gone with a little lighter shade. We also worked at getting our upstairs studio cleaned up a bit and organized. I keep reminding Gabi that we are doing this work now while the weather has been gloomy and we will soon be spending more time outdoors. Gabi is signed up for swimming lessons again and we even bought a family pass to the pool! She is also playing tee-ball every Wednesday evening. So my summers are very busy and I love spending that time at home with Rick and Gabi!

OOh I Have just gone back to work after 4 years, in that time I went back to college to become a teachers assistant, for those very reasons, that I would be off when the kids were off!

my lil sister's room is a VERY bright pink. It's odd at first but eventually you get used to it :) Enjoy your break!!

Sounds like the perfect summer to me! Love the pink. I let my youngest pick out the turquoise for our bathroom a few years ago and it was bright, but then I got used to it and loved it.

Everyone has to have a crazy pink room at least once. Good for you staying home all summer and being a mom! I was fortunate enough to be a stay at home mom for several years, wouldn't trade it away for anything
