Payback?

While working in my office yesterday afternoon, I heard some tremendous noise coming from the girls' bedroom-- where they were supposed to be napping.  But as I have learned, having two girls just 18 months apart makes for some noisy "naptimes."  They giggle.  They squeal.  They scream.  Then they laugh.  Then they jump.

It's fun.

But this was A LOT of noise.  I went up to investigate.  K, who had been up for almost 24 hours at that point, was sleeping through it.  No wonder I hadn't heard footsteps going in to silence them.

And then I looked in.  And wow.  What a sight...

Need a closer look?  Here is Hosanna's side of the room...

And here is ZuZu's side of the room.  Notice she hit two walls...

Now, I will freely admit that the wallpaper was not my favorite.  But it wasn't hideous.  The plan was as follows: 1) paint Moses' room; 2) paint the kitchen/dining room/family room; 3) paint the girls' room.  And #3 was going to come along sometime after Hosanna switches to a "big girl bed."  And because ZuZu still insists on sleeping in her crib, I figured I had a few years.

Looks like my kitchen is going to have to wait for a while...

My parents reminded me that I did the exact same thing when I was 15 months old.  They had just wallpapered my bedroom, and in anger one day I started tearing it down. 

Well... at least the wallpaper wasn't new.  And the girls didn't do it in anger.  And now I know two little monkeys who can finish the job!
