The grass is always greener in a big girl room

So... we did it. Just barely, but we actually got Miss M's room ready and her moved in by Monday night. At like 11:55pm. Whatever.

And on with the dramatic before, during and after pictures.....

Before - empty and yet full of loneliness...geez, does it get anymore dramatic than that?!



















During-with Mr. Zimny taking care of strangling hazard type coax cables:














During- with lovely grass, painstakingly (read: hurriedly and with great back strain) painted by mom.














Because every yellow walled baby's room needs random green grass...Why?
Because I SAID SO! WHEN I OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO STENCIL ANYTHING.
FYI: It's especially hard to stencil something when 1)you don't actually have a stencil and are forced to make one and 2)you've never actually stenciled something before.
But after doing like 6 feet, the grass kinda grew on me. Ha! get it... GREW on me.... 'cause it's grass...right. Anyways, now I really like it.

During- While Miss M decides exactly where in her huge room she will store her various helmets and stuffed animals. You can never have enough storage space for these things....

After- with Miss M in her crib. 'Cause it's like 11 or something and shouldn't babies be in bed by then? You'd think her parents would be more responsible than that. Geez.















Oh.... a note about responsible parenting. Say you get away from the baby for an evening. You decide to go out and have a nice time with your friends... but you feel like there is something missing... a little baby sized void... it's good to have a replacement. But remember, safety first - strap it in.

The finished product has barely an exposed piece of grass in it.

Yeah....I was thinking that too. It's really just from that view. If you are standing in the room you can see a bit.

Who did the fabulous job of putting the electrical socket covers back on? They sure did a great job. I wonder if he was a renaissance man...
