making the kids their own space with wall decals

Renting means we can't paint personalize the kids' rooms with paint. Well, let me rephrase that, I don't want to paint it only to repaint it when we move out in a year. But the girls are wanting their own space like they used to have in our old house. It is especially important now that they are sharing a room. 

With a little research I found that RoomMates had tons of removable wall decals. Big M actually had Star Wars in his old room, I just wasn't aware that they had so many other choices. Averaging about $10 each pack, I bought a few from Amazon. The girls love them! They are removable without any sticky residue so  we can take them with us when we move out. The girls had princesses before too, but we were in such a rush to move out of our house that I didn't have to patience to stick each decal back to their paper backing. 

Little M is currently into trains so I chose Thomas for him. He is very excited by them. Big M chose Star Wars again, but he didn't put them on right away so I don't have a picture.

I'm Worried and Relieved.

As I opened Katie's diaper to change her, I found something that looks like a picture of a girl's head. Hmmmm. Was my mind playing tricks on me? I called in the hubby. The hubby looked and said, it was a sticker of a girl and left. As if it was an everyday occurance.

I stared at it a moment longer. I'm worried that somehow Katie is getting a hold of stuff she's shouldn't have, or is being fed stuff she shouldn't have. And I'm also relieved that she's able to pass things that shouldn't be ingested in the first place.

I shudder to think what else I would be seeing in the girl's diapers from now on.

The Danger of Falling Asleep with your Kids

Matty didn't go to school today because a bad tummy ache kept him up last night.

This is what happens when you decide to take a nap with your children and your toddler wakes up before you. I'm just glad I put the girls in the playpen, or they may have met with the same fate.
