Graduation Gifts

So Isabel graduated last week from preschool and we got her a few gifts celebrate.

So proud of our little graduate!

She’s been fascinated with the whole “Tangled” movie since she watched it a few weeks ago. So much so that she actually cut her own hair and has been walking around the house with baby blankets tied to her head as hair (I remember doing that but it wasn’t because of Rapunzel). So I thought enough with the blankets lets get her an actual “Tangled” wig!…

So here is our Rapunzel, with her very own “golden hair”.

Then today she added the dress and the crown because Rapunzel had a dress and a crown in the movie.  To cute!

Isabel’s Room

Isabel has been wanting a purple room ever since the day she could talk! OK not since then but since she’s been out of her crib. So we decided with graduation from Preschool we’d remodel her room!

We began with choosing a wall color that was close in color to her existing curtains, bedspread and one that she actually liked. She chose “Orchid House”. The day before we started painting Isabel and I cleared out her room by placing everything in the guest room. Her bed, we placed on the floor of our bedroom and the dresser stayed in the room covered in plastic and was used as a catch-all for tools and such.

Looking south easterly; finishing a few things after all the prep work was complete.
(Note: the purple line on the wall is not the final color of the room)

We removed everything except the carpet (it came out later) and the door to her room (which remained in place and remained white). The room was a blank canvas so to speak…

Looking south westerly.
(Note: the purple line on the wall is not the final color of the room – it was some other paint but decided against it because it was to dark.)

She’s excited!!! She begins painting on the north wall by the closet. Her room will be purple before the day is finished.

Looking south easterly. It’s PURPLE alright!

Looking north into the closet.

After working around the room (with Gino and I following her to spread out the paint) she begins the closet bottom half.

Working together in the closet to get it done.
