The Playroom









Okay before you get all crazy and start saying, "Holy Cow! I didnt' know Beth was so artistic." Let me correct you and say... I'm not. This was so easy, thanks to my sister Miriam. She had done some fun stuff like this in her playroom and what she did was she brought home her overhead projector (she's a teacher) and she xerox copied coloring book pages traced them on her wall using the projector and then colored them in using paint pens. So super easy and way fun.
One funny story about this project. About a day or so after I had started this project Christian came and say "Mommy come!" he was so excited to show me something, he took me into Evan's room and show me that he had been coloring on the wall with a pen (only black, thank goodness!) I wasn't so sure how to react because he was so proud of what he had done. I said "Oh Buddy, only Mommies can color on walls" Talk about feelings of GUILT! I felt so hypocritical. But he listened and has never colored on a wall since, thanks for understanding buddy.

I'm still very impressed with your artistic ability. You didn't color out of the lines or anything! It looks great. That must have taken quite a while. I don't know if it would be so pretty if I did it. Way to go Beth. It's adorable!
