Nursery Paintings

Since I knew Mom was coming in this weekend, I made sure to have a project for us while the boys were working on the kitchen. I went to Wal-Mart and bought canvases and painting supplies so we could work on painting pictures for Eli's room. Friday morning we both woke up and after some breakfast got started. I LOVE how they turned out! We painted them to match the bedding that is going to go in the nursery. Here's a picture to remind you what it looks like.

No, the paintings are not perfect, but I think they look really cute. They were painted with lots of love. I can't wait to see them hanging on the walls in his nursery.

    Wow, you guys really did an excellent job on the painting! They look really awesome.

    Did I (or Destiny) mention that we have plans to come and see ya? We're trying to work everything out still.

    We were hoping sooner than later, but I'm heading to E. Europe for some math geekery for a while, so it will have to be when I get back. I'm SOOO excited!

    I'm pretty behind on the posts! I LOVE all of the things you have gotten for the nursery that I have seen. The paintings are amazing to me and I bet they will look amazing in Eli's room!

    I can't believe you are over half way through your pregnancy! I think you look like you have just gained belly weight. :)
