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.
