We all just have to unplug.

Carlee Design on a Dime

Summer Project One:  Complete.  
Someone thinks she is a big girl now 



but she isn't, so she better stop thinking it. 
(Is that a Slim Jim in her hand?  🤣)



Carlee has begged me to re-decorate her room for a while.   This desire became even stronger when Connor rearranged his room.  

    
Racing Fan Much??

                                        

                                                         

I got Connor a new rug for his room but he says it's tacky and looks like a big piece of Fruit Stripe Gum ðŸ¤£.      
I might take it with me to my classroom.  

The problem with Carlee's room is that the furniture is pretty much locked in.  Her bunk beds take up half the room and can't be moved much.


Still, I decided since my big girl is leaving the primary grades we could update.  I was very prayerful in what I wanted to spend.  I mean let's face it- you could blow the household budget on a little girl's room.  

How dirty would this room get in two days?
How dirty would this room get in two days?

I thought it was time to replace Carlee's baby drawers (dark wood) and diaper changing table (Barbie Station USA).  
I also knew that new furniture at this time would be a little pricey so I started with a few small tweaks. 

Removed

                      
When I found several items 30% off (at Big Lots of all places) I was struck with inspiration.   I just knew Carlee would love this theme.
                                                        

                          
  
 Carlee knows all about Paris because she watches Fancy Nancy.  She J'adore Paris.

The Last Dance

Hey if Michael Jordan can use this title so can I!!
This was technically Carlee's 'last dance' for the season.  It wasn't really a dance but a photo shoot.
We are sad that she was unable to do her recitals this year but it's definitely not the end of the world.  We know these things happen.  We were super excited to go on a professional photo shoot in our brand new costumes!!

I am so happy to share with you a few of my favorites from her day.
(Grandmas just let me know which ones you want.)


Tumbling:  "I'm A Clown"




Tap:  "Lollipop"


Ballet:  "Enchanted"



Did you ever see a ballet dancer with black nails?  At least I got the black chocker off of her.  🤣
