What could be more fitting for an October birthday than a giant pumpkin cake? (I am NOT a professional cake decorator by any stretch of the imagination. Somehow that is one of my mother's talents that I never inherited. Remind me sometime to share photos of the gorilla cake that Grandma made on James' last birthday.)
Joy, however, was impressed
And thoroughly enjoyed it!
Moving on to the nursery....
I was able to repaint this weekend while Steve's mom was here to entertain kiddos. I found a king size brown sheet set on clearance for $18, which I used for new sheets for both cribs, as well as slipcovers for the rockers. I would've spent that on 1 crib sheet! I love the new colors in there - it looks so soft.
So, here are the photos. Tell me what you think!
the antique switch plates my Grandfather gave us
the little doll I made when I was a child
Ailidh's bed
her name
and her mobile
Joy's bed, and her name
and her mobile
"new" brown rockers
Joy's quilt, finally finished!
Right, so that's what it looked like yesterday. Here's what it looked like today after naptime (during which Ailidh was obviously not "napping" at all!)
Yes, that's baby powder.
Everywhere.
Happy Birthday Joy!
Everywhere.
See all the little footprints in it? What you can't see is how she took all the books off the top shelf of the bookcase, dumped them ALL in her sister's crib, then climbed up in there and gotten herself stuck. Oh well, at least it smelled nice.
Happy Birthday Joy!
