We spent the past weekend in Kentucky, moving a few things to our new apartment and trying to decorate a bit before the big move next month. The biggest thing we accomplished this weekend was the mural in the kids' bedroom: Christina got it about 80% finished. I spent most of the time taking the kids around the area and trying to be Mr. Mom to the best of my ability. The kids had a blast running around the empty apartment--their bedroom is about the size of our entire apartment right now--and never tired of opening the screen door and searching for bugs on the balcony.
Here's some pictures of the mural, from beginning to (almost) end.

One broken neck, two paint stains on the new carpet, and a severe relapse into a Pepsi habit later:
Here's a size comparison.
P.S. Casey, where were you? Christina could have used your help! I thought for sure your sibling ESP would have kicked in and you would have known she was in need. How disappointing.
