Abby's Room

Here is Abby's room in our new house.
She has requested purple walls, which she may get, but not for a while.
In the mean time, I think it turned out pretty cute.
The castle was a hand-me-down gift from her cousin.

She has a CASTLE in her room!

What a blessed little girl!
She does have to temporarily share her room with her brother, but I think the castle more than makes up for that.

It's the Perfect Color!

When we moved into our new house (yay!!!) there were a few seagull yard ornaments in the front yard. I'm not big on yard ornaments (probably because I've never owned a yard) and most likely wouldn't choose seagulls to decorate it. (I think "Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine." from Finding Nemo) So I was just going to throw them out, but in the meantime I just moved them to the side yard.


Abby & Bean were spending all their time in the side yard and I could not for the life of me figure out why, when we finally have a big yard and a sand box, would they choose to spend all of their time in the rocks and sidewalk on the 5' x 6'-ish space on the side of the house. Then one day, I noticed that the seagull had a large rock between its wings. Then I heard Abby talking to the bird on another day. And it dawns on me. "Oh! She digs the seagull!" So the seagulls have been spared. But I had to put my own little spin on them if they were to live in our yard, so I spray painted them in high gloss paint. The two small ones are black & white. Abby chose the color for the large seagull.


Purple seems to be the color she favors most these days.
The birds live in the back yard near the play house.
