Finished!

Here's the final product. The sea creatures are all wall stickers, I can't take credit for them. We have seahorses and shells coming in the mail still. (In case you were wondering, the A in the corner is his easel.) The headboard of the bed is the back of his old crib. I'm so pleased with how everything came out. I keep going in there and just looking around! (Sorry for the slight fuzziness...the pictures are clear when printed, and on my computer, I just can't seem to get the size right on here to make them clear. If you click on the picture, you can see more detail.)

Finished Walls

I'm very pleased with how the seaweed came out. I don't have a good detail shot, but there are highlights and shadows on the leaves. I did two of them, in roughly opposite corners. I didn't want to overwhelm the room with them, especially as we'll be adding the wall stickers Sunday. I also included a detail shot of the spongework for the water and sand. Water was done with a sponge and colorwashing, sand was straight sponging on.

Sorry for the poorer quality on this one, it's linked from Shutterfly instead of my computer directly.

Happy Halloween!

Brotherly Love part 1

We were all reading stories before naptime. Nick was actually looking at the books, which I thought was very cool!

Brotherly Love part 2

Daniel wanted to give Nick a bottle, so I pumped for him to be able to do that. The thing is, Nick was already full, and didn't really want much to do with it! Daniel didn't know that though, he was just thrilled to "help".

The Next Head of Microsoft

Here's Daniel with his "new" computer setup. It's one of my old computers that has pretty much been stripped of programs except for pre-school stuff.

Who dropped and broke the baby?

Pictures!

Moments after birth. I was wearing a flesh colored bra, I'm not naked here! Eek!
The brothers meeting for the first time. The little panda was Daniel's gift to Nicholas.

Zoo

I'm cheating tonight, and just posting the link to our pictures from our early Father's Day trip to the zoo with my dad.

Shutterfly, click on "view pictures"

Daniel had two rides on the merry go round, and was a little unsure but had a great time once he got used to it. I bumped the autofocus/manual focus setting on my camera, so some of my favorite animal pictures were very blurry and wasted. Others came out well.

Male Ring Necked Pheasant

Ha! I finally got the bugger! This guy has been tormenting me the past few nights. Doug would tell me he was out in the back yard, and I'd go stalking him with my camera, only to either not find him at all, or to see the dust off his tail feathers. The first one shows off his brilliant feathers. The second clearly shows why I've had trouble catching him once he decided to run! And the third is pretty much typical of the past few nights, seeing him blaze off into the distance.

Daddy's Helper

(I apologize for the white on the tall pictures. I don't know what's up with Blogger, it's never done that before to my pics.)

White Glop

This is the result of our spring snowstorm. Heavy, wet, gloppy. We lost our power for a few hours this morning as a result. Daniel was in the backseat, telling me to duck, the tree branches were so low. The last picture is of a power line, and how encased it was.
