Gross!!!!
Anyway............
I had my first of two baby showers last weekend up in Michigan. It was fun and Cameron got a lot of nice stuff! When we brought it all home and put it in the nursery, Maggie was convinced it was her stuff...I'm sure they'll learn to share.
Okay, maybe they shouldn't share everything!
My favorite gift from the shower was artwork my mom and dad made for me. The inspiration came from an abstract painting of a dog in the Pottery Barn Kids catalogue with a handwritten saying painted in the background. It was ridiculously over-priced as you can imagine, so she thought she would create one of her own. She painted an abstract Maggie and she and my dad put several of their own handwritten sayings all over the picture. It came out beautifully and will hang in the nursery. Check it out!
Maggie feels very special to be forever immortalized this way and insisted I take a picture of her next to what she calls "the best painting ever, paws down."
She also insisted that I put a diaper on her because "she's a baby, too"...even though she's been housebroken for years, so I humored her.
"Change me, Mommy!!!"
And I thought "older kids" regressed AFTER the baby arrived!
In other news...the 2nd bathroom/Cameron's bathroom is nearly finished. It just needs a few more accessories and it will be perfect. Here are some before, during and after pictures:
Before
This is a picture I took when we first looked at the house. It was pretty plain and boring with its white walls and lovely country blue diamond-patterned floor.
During
Ben put down a new floor, installed new nickel fixtures and
painted the walls a fun aqua blue color...
After
I added the cute frog and turtle accessories I
received as shower gifts...
It turned out so cute! Ben is the best!
We'll be spending this weekend still working away at getting the house in order, then we're spending Easter weekend with Ben's family down in Madison.
Blog to you soon!
