Progress

29 Weeks:

After painting Mini's room... twice.... we really hadn't taken further steps to make the empty room into his future little man cave.
I wanted to wait until after some friends came into town so we could continue to use his space as overflow for our fabulous guests (love you Katie and Linz!).
But when a package arrived yesterday with vinyl decals for his walls, I just couldn't wait any longer.
Welcome to Mini's jungle! I have to give props to my husband for talking me into the bright orange color, and to my mom for helping me get this sucker on the wall... definitely a two woman job.
After scoring the whole thing with our credit cards (who knew they had so many uses?), we peeled off the backing paper, positioned the decal (and repositioned it twice for my OCD self), and used said credit cards to rub it on to the wall.
Ta da! I love how it turned out. Now we just have to tackle the 6 foot tall giraffe that will be hanging out over his crib...
