So.... the nursery is coming along great! I've been stressing like crazy about what I was going to put on the wall that I painted that really pretty purple. I needed something to go right above the crib and couldn't think of what I wanted. There was a wall-decal that I found on Etsy through Pinterest that I really, really liked, but it was like $65.00 for it! Geez, I'm already having a baby, and these peole expect me to hand over an arm and a leg to them too for some plastic that sticks on a wall? I don't think so!
So I began searching for other options. I'm not exactly a "decorator" so I always end up second guessing myself a lot. But, I was in Hobby Lobby one day and saw a very cute wall decal that fit the colors of the nursery, and it was on sale for $15.00 down from $30.00! On top of that, there were two of them sitting there. I decided to hold off on buying it, however, because I promised Pac I would take a break from the nursery for a little while, while we focused on saving up. I thought "Oh, I'm sure it'll still be here..." Yeah right! Turns out, I was going back to Hobby the next day with Paxton's mom, and sure enough, the two that were sitting there, were now gone! The next freakin' day?!?! C'mon now...
So, I decided to design my OWN wall decal, and make a stencil for it, and just paint it on the wall. This is what my design turned out to be...
So a few weeks later, I went back into Hobby Lobby (looking for inspiration) and saw the $15.00 wall decal back on it's shelf. PLUS, there was another one that was the same purple and green colors that could go on the other wall that isn't painted purple. It too was on sale, so I thought "Yeah... this is what I'm doing." So I bought them both.
Paxton helped me put them up, and this is how they turned out...
This is the cute tree with the adorable little birdies...
And this cute design is right above where the changing table is.
The lighting is a little dark, but you get the idea. So, slowly but surely, her room is getting there.
In addition to our new addition, our puppy is making some good headway on the learning front. Before you know it, we will have so many posts about our little girl on here, it's going to make you SICK, but for now, you can get sick at how proud we are of our little Boomer. He played fetch with a frisbee for the first time last week. Here is how it went....
Attempt #1- He runs with the frisbee up in his face so
he can't see...
Attempt #2- Well, that we caught on video anyway.
We were actually doing this for like 45 mins. He's
getting closer!
SUCCESS! I'm not gonna lie, I wasn't expecting this
to happen on his first time playing frisbee. I love how he
comes down on his back legs so wabbly. He was
really tired by this time.
Lastly, Boom made his first ever trip to a local dog park. It took him about 20 minutes to figure out who he wanted to be friends with, but once he found this dog, they were best buds!
