Valentine’s Day Fun!

Posted by: Maggie

As we usually do, we kept Valentine’s Day pretty simple this year. We spent the morning redecorating Eleanor’s room. Then we went to get some lunch and some Menchie’s for dessert.

Then home for a nap for Eleanor.

And afterward we exchanged our gifts and cards.

Josh got me my favorite Calla Lillies.

We got Eleanor some fun Valentine’s socks. But, as it turns out they were adult size socks. So they were just a little big for Eleanor.

But they fit me perfectly. (That’s me in the stripes and Eleanor in the frogs). In my defense, don’t they look like kids socks? And Eleanor’s feet are almost the same size as mine. Anybody could have made the same mistake.

Eleanor wore the Valentine’s Day crown she made in school. This was just before she ripped it to pieces.

Josh found the perfect card for Eleanor! She loved it! That’s her hooting below!

For dinner we just had some leftover Chinese food. And after Eleanor went to bed Josh and I watched Away We Go. And that was it. A lovely Valentine’s Day!

Fabulous Friday: Eleanor’s New Bedroom Decor

Posted by: Maggie

When we moved Eleanor into her new toddler bed we decided to do a little bit of redecorating. The Safari theme was never really Eleanor’s thing anyway. So I decided to go with something that I knew she would love! Owls!

She’s obsessed with owls lately. She walks around saying “Hear dat? Whoo hoo! It a Owl! Whoo hoo!” I started searching the internet, looking at etsy and some other sites searching for Owl themed toddler bedding. And guess where I found it! Target! Crazy right? Circo makes forest theme bedding that is super affordable and extra adorable. AND it was in stock at my local Target so I went right over and picked it up! AND they also had some awesome vinyl wall decals to go with it! I was so excited!

She had her toddler bed with bedding all last week and then Josh and I spent Valentines Day morning cleaning and reorganizing the room, taking out her changing table and putting up the decals. We took out the changing table partly because we don’t really need it now that Eleanor is pretty much potty trained and partly because she also realized that she could climb up it. On several occasions she has gone into her room, climbed up, taken off a dirty diaper and then yelled for me to help her get back down. So, as with her crib, we didn’t want her to fall and break her head open.

So here’s a reminder of what her room looked like with the crib and changing table:
