Smurfs in the toy box.

All I can say is don't worry about the due date. After the little smurfling comes, that will be the least of your worries! Good luck! You'll love the experience. Awesome room you have set up, Smurf!

Definitely good to know, though I must confess that the carpet isn't exactly stain free as it is... And a <I>real nice blemish</i> might just be the spark we need to get a nice new (and more practical coloured) carpet installed! Thanks for the tip Angie!

I would have thought it was a magazine ad. As a mom of 2 young kids, I have one recommendation though - move the throw rug closer to the crib. Like, right up against it. If you have a baby who's into projectile vomiting (as one of mine was) it is a lot easier to deal with when you know it's on a rug you can toss in a couple of years, versus on the carpet that you plan to keep as long as possible. Just found your website last week, and I'm loving it! The smurf thing cracks me up - my oldest will be 6 on Friday and we've called him Smurfy and Smurf-boy since the day he was born.

You think so? <B>Thanks!</b> I'm most proud of the paint job which was inspired entirely by the backgrounds in Super Mario Bros and Super Mario Bros 2. We intended to draw eyes on the clouds like they have in the games but never actually got around to it. The funny part is that the paint job and the giant leaves have been up for years. That was actually the "grown-up" bedroom until about a year ago. Don't laugh -- swap out the crib for a queen size bed and it made for a great bedroom. Our current bedroom has plain old red walls. Booooooring... Impressive? You think so? Thanks!
