Au revoir orange kitchen.

Peace out plaid paneled playroom!

That's right...we're boring up the Franklin abode....getting it dulled up for the next occupants....we're selling it.

If you've never been to the Franklin casa, sad for you. It's quite colorful. Yet tasteful (in my opinion). Thanks to my amazing friend, Laura. She takes God's beautiful colors and swishes em up and mixes em up and BAM! ahhhhhh! Seriously FUN HOUSE. 

But now...dull house. Boring house. But I have a secret. My dining room is still silver. Silver's neutral, right?

We're downsizing. We have too much space. A dining room we don't use. Every kid has his own room. And a freaking play room. And our Compassion kids don't even have running water or a proper roof. What the heck? Here's a picture of the non-colorful type of house Wend lives in in Burkina Faso, and these kids seem to be having a great time playing hopscotch! So I'm not gonna complain. At all.

So for us. It's right. And we're excited! So don't worry. Our zebra couch is coming with us...and we have left over paint for the next joint.

Don't get me wrong...we're grateful for what we have. But even the kids agree...it's MORE that we need. "Let's move Mom and Dad. This place is bigger than what we need. Too much to take care of. Think how many kids we could help out." Now that's what I like to hear!
