The big reveal

First of all, it's VERY important for me to say that I'd NEVER gotten done with this project if it weren't for Tracy. Thank you SO MUCH for letting me take you away from your family time to surprise Nathan.

Tracy and I painted Nathan's room last week. We started on Thursday night and finished up Saturday night. It was hard - but so much fun.


Take a look at what was on Nathan's walls. While your looking at that post, check out Jack's mohawk in the picture of him in his car seat. WHAT THE LIVIN' HELL? Couldn't someone have told me to cut his hair? Ha!


Ok, so back during football season, Home Depot had a commercial on showcasing their paint. They showed a Dallas Cowboys room. I tried to take a picture of it, but it didn't work out. Many months later, I saw the commercial again and was able to get a photo.


I thought it would be fun to pain Natey's room while he was gone. He had a great time, by the way. Me? Well thank goodness for paint or I would have climbed his walls.


Tracy and I worked together taping the star on the wall. It was very hard to do. We measured, stepped back, measured again, stepped back.....


We decided that we were glad that it was us, BFF's doing the star and not Justin and I. Divorce would have been a sure bet had it been that dynamic duo. ;)

Ok, so here is the star right before we took the tape off.

And now the big reveal!

As you can see, he LOVED it! He was very excited. I got his reaction on my regular video camera. I'll see if I can't somehow get it on here for you. It was cute.

I had to take this next picture because it cracked me up. There are Spongebob's eyes. It was where one of the grey stripes went, but I thought leaving it would be funny - and creepy. =o)

Of coarse we covered it, but I just thought it was funny. Actually, Claire is standing next to me laughing saying "FUNNY SPONGEBOB". I knew I wasn't the only one.

I also wrote this message on the front door for Nathan. It's a little hard to see in the picture. It says "Welcome Home Nathan". He thought that was pretty cool.Nathan lost a tooth while he was in Pierre. I lost a tooth today at the dentist. I'll tell you more about that tomorrow.
