Moving the Kiddos back to the University of Arkansas - Go Hogs Go

I was in Fayetteville this past week moving both kiddos back to college.  Kiddo #1 was returning Sunday morning after 3 months in Alaska and needed her apartment set up so she could start back to work on Monday.  Did I mention her plane didn't land in Little Rock until Sunday morning?  Well, who do you think got to set up the apartment for her? Right, Mom.  Just another day in the life of a Mom (I did enjoy getting to play decorator so it wasn't all bad.)

I found this little gem at a flea market for only $45!

The dining area is ready for her first dinner guests.

Found this painted bedside table at another flea market for a steal.

This picture is by an artist in Fayetteville and was at the Painted Pig in Farmington for $12.

The mirror and table came from flea markets in Rogers.  I WILL be back to shop on Walnut Street in Rogers.  The flea markets there are FANTASTIC.

Kiddo #2 moved into a dorm room.  Where it took 4 days to move, unpack, and set up the apartment for kiddo #1, it took 15 minutes to set up dorm room for kiddo #2.  At this point you can probably tell kiddo #1 is a girl and kiddo #2 is a boy.  If not, you don't have kids or at least do not have one of each for the comparison.  When I took kiddo #2 to Wal Mart to get the "necessities" we hadn't already purchased he began to fill the cart with Nutty Bars, Swiss Cake Rolls, Chips, Honey Buns, etc.  The only non-junk food item we purchased was a pillow.  My children are like night and day.

Notice how few clothes are in the closet?  Robby said there were plenty!

The bed is made up only because I nagged him about it.  The walls and bulletin board are still empty.

The most important part of the room - two TVs and two gaming systems.

I had a wonderful time with both kiddos getting their room/apartment ready.  When I think I will miss them I just look at the football schedule and see how many times we will be together this fall.  I just hope the Razorbacks win a few games so we will have happy times together instead of insane fussing about the Hogs losing - again!
