Pookie & Fig

That was an impromptu blog break brought to you by the last of summer warmth and fun! But now that the leaves are changing, the temps dropping and a distinctly autumnal breeze is blowing, I'm spending just that much more time indoors and happily am back to blogging.

So besides playing in the sun, what have we been up to? Mostly packing up the summer clothes and unpacking the winter clothes (a long slow process what with three girls' wardrobes to take care of), but also a bit more painting. I'm slowly getting more color on the walls, which looks great, but makes our lack of wall art somehow all that more noticeable. For the girls' room I've been thinking that these might look cute...

Illustrations by Ethel Everett for the book "Water Babies", a recent used book sale find.

The girls were thrilled with the illustrations in this book as they love this video...

...Disney circa 1935. Don't you love how imaginative the old Disney Silly Symphonies are?

Now I just need to figure out what should go on the walls in our main living area...

I guess that's something I'll have to search for later. I promised two little girls that we would carve some pumpkins today and if I don't help them do it now I'm afraid they're going to start doing it on their own...yikes!
