The Orange Playroom!

Crazy kids going wild in the playroom!

Well after 3 nights of taping and painting here is the Orange Playroom! Thanks to my sister-in-law Holly for the inspiration to go a little crazy with the color; she has a very beautifully colorful house! The kids are posing in the pictures for ya! But what would a play room look like without kids in it anyway? I have to say thank you to Bobbo for allowing me to go crazy and not only that but getting out the old work clothes and helping me! What a great man - no wonder I married him - I am a smart woman. This playroom has been a long work in progress - since before Christmas. I asked for the children's craft table for Christmas (Pottery Barn Kids - Floor Model slighty used but hey it was going to get beat up anyway) and the Toy cubby shelves (whatever you want to call them) for my B-Day (IKEA). Lastly I bought the green pegboards from Pottery Barn Kids, I had my eye on them for over 2 months and the price finally dropped down to $40 so I was finally suckered in and bought 2. Rob was a little confused as to why we needed green pegboards and I am still trying to convinced him of the importance of hanging the kids artwork on them. Men don't understand these things! Finally it has all come together. I think I am satisfied for awhile, no more projects for me. Well hopefully it was worth all the effort!

Lastly I have to share my new favorite cookie recipe that I got from my cute friend Amy:

Mint Chocolate Cookie:

1 box Devil's Food Cake Mix, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup oil, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Mix cake mix, eggs and oil. Stir in chocolate chips. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 - 12 minutes.

Frosting: Store bought vanilla frosting. Add mint extract and green food coloring.

Yummy, I made these yesterday and the plate was full. There will be one less in about 2 minutes!

Hope you are having a great week!
