As part of the 100th day of school, all the kids in Ryan's class had to make a poster of 100 things. I thought it had to be turned in the next day so we used what we had in the house. We did 100 toothpicks in the shape of 100 and had Ryan paint the inside. We had family home evening that night with Chris's family so we were up late finishing this. It was the first school project we have had to stay up late finishing. I'm sure it won't be our last.

Ryan's Wall




Finally! I finally finished Ryan's superhero mural. I think we started it in June of 2009 and I just finished it last weekend. He really likes it. Originally I was going to paint the superheros on but I found these reusable wall stickers called Wall Mates. I figured since they are reusable he could change some of the scenes sometimes. I ordered a Superman pack and a Batman pack and each one came with 30 stickers so we used some on the mural and then he got to go crazy with the rest around his room. I ordered some of the Batman bedding from Pottery Barn Kids but the sham and pillowcase are on back order until April 17 and the duvet cover until June 17. I haven't told him about those yet. I figured since they were going to take so long to get here I'd let them be surprises so he wasn't asking me about them all the time. I didn't order the sheets because he loves his flannel sheets. I want some that are a solid yellow or blue or I guess even black. If anyone knows where I can get some please let me know.
