Here are the long-awaited pictures of Robbie's nursery. It is pretty much finished now...if I can let my perfectionist side stop changing things! I am really happy with how it turned out. Especially since it is the cheapest nursery I have ever decorated. This time I just decided to go with a color scheme...without buying an expensive crib set...pretty much did everything with two containers of paint and a few things from Ikea. Maggie contributed to much of the decorations. I had her paint some pictures for the room, as well as to draw a picture of our family - all of which I framed. Definitely cheap decor!
  Maggie's artwork on the wall...mine on the table!  Maggie's artwork mixed with some framed cards.    Maggie's drawing of our family.  Maggie's masterpiece. She wasn't too happy with it...wonder where she gets her perfectionism from?!  Madeline and I had such a fun weekend together...just the two of us. Rob had to go to Ohio for the weekend, so he decided to make it a "Maggie and Daddy weekend." They flew down on Friday, stayed in a nice hotel together, went to a children's museum, ate the largest desserts the restaurants offered, and "did whatever we wanted" (Maggie quote of the weekend). Maggie was so excited to be on a trip with just her daddy. I am so glad that they got to do that before camp starts, the new baby arrives, etc., and I am so thankful for a husband who is so eager to invest in the lives of our children. He is the BEST!!! I got to spend Friday in Green Bay/Milwaukee shopping with my good friend Carissa...we lived it up at the Cheesecake Factory, and hit the thrift stores...very fun times! Then, on Saturday, Madeline and I spent the whole day in the big town of Iron Mountain...McDonalds was probably the highlight of the day for us!! It was so nice being able to spend time alone with "my baby."  My friend Julie gave the girls this "Angelina Ballerina" dress-up dress that her girls grew out of. The girls had so much fun taking turns today wearing it and dancing around the house like ballerinas - kind of!! These pictures describe it all!!      |
The nursery looks great!
