Conversations in the Car

We are riding in the car this morning taking Ryan to work and all is quiet. We were just listening to some music. All of the sudden, Gavin pipes up and this is what transpires:

Gavin: When did you get married?
Me: Seven Years ago
Gavin: Were you a princess?
Me: Well, I had a fancy dress . . .
Gavin: Well, Daddy didn't have a prince outfit on.
Me: He had a nice suit on.
Gavin: Yeah, it was black, I really liked it.
Gavin: Was I there?
Me: No, you weren't born yet
Gavin: I was in your belly still?
Me: No, God hadn't created you yet
Gavin: Did you get married at the Disney Store?
Me: No
Gavin: Did you get married in Africa?
Me: No
Gavin: Well, that would have been really cool.

I don't know where he comes up with this stuff or how his thought process jumps from the Disney Store to Africa! He's such a crack up sometimes! I love it!

Sneak Peak

Well, it's not done yet, but here are some pics of Charlotte's room.

We aren't allowed to paint, so this is fabric that I put on the wall above the crib. I was told that you could use a corn starch paste to stick the fabric to the wall. I googled it and voila! It worked!

C is for Charlotte!

I got the giant letter C from JoAnn Fabrics (with a 40% coupon, I have to add) and then painted it brown, punched out all the circles and went crazy with the decoupage! Ryan hung it up for me!

Here is the view from the doorway. I am still waiting on my (FREE) changing table. It is traveling here from Michigan over Thanksgiving weekend. Once I get that, I'll post pics from the other side and the wall decor I did over there.

This was my latest idea. I bought this hanging thing from Ikea over a year ago and decided to re purpose it. I used my left over fabric and cut out circles and applied them with some good old fabric glue. I love how it turned out! I should have taken a before picture!

I have to say, when I envisioned having a girl I always thought I'd go pink, pink and more PINK! However, I love how this theme is turning out!

I don't mess around!

Christmas is by far my favorite Holiday. I usually wait until about the third week into November to put up the tree. However, Ryan had the day off and we were rearranging things to make room in our storage space. I suggested we get the Christmas stuff out, so we wouldn't bury it in the back behind everything. Well, then it was all out and I made the mistake of opening up some of the boxes. We weren't really doing anything else so . . . we went ahead and put it up! I love it. Gavin was really loving it. Although, I think I may have confused him a bit b/c he knows his birthday comes right before Christmas. He asked me if I was going to set up his birthday after he went to bed! He had a great time cluttering the ornaments around the bottom of the tree. He didn't mind when we moved them around, though.




He still hasn't taken off the Santa hat, either. He ever wore it to Target and the grocery store today!
