Lucy's Room



So, before we moved to the great northwest, Lucy prayed and hoped that our new home would mean her own room. Maybe it was the sharing of her bed, the room and toys w/ little sister but she wanted her own space. I secretly thought that this would be impossible, but kept telling her to take it to God. For sure, she would get her own bed (bunk beds), but her own room, not likely considering a family of six, prices up here etc. We did talk about the "theme" she wanted...."Beach theme" she said. This so goes w/ her personality....lounging around, beach bumb, never hurrying....love that about her, except when were trying to get to the bus on time.
So, this house came w/ an extra room...the boys didn't mind sharing a large bedroom, that meant the girls could be split up....Lucy was thrilled. So, Dan put his creative, frugal mind to work and found most everything @ Cost Plus (love that store!) Here it is....hammock, sandbox, w/ seashells, beach canopy and lights, and boogy board for surfing. She loves it, has enjoyed having her own space. I secretly thought she would miss being w/ her younger sister. Nope. Now, if we could just work on keeping it clean:)

Oh I love it!  Lucy is such a beautiful girl, Kirsten -- and obviously has some personality to come up with such a room!
