The Fantasia Family: Pilot Eli

2.07.2008

Pilot Eli

I realized I haven't shared our nursery yet - so here it is. There are 15 planes hanging from the ceiling also, but I couldn't get a great picture of them so you may have to peek extra hard. I painted the planes on the wall and made the rocking chair covers. Devin hung the chair-railing (Good job, honey). All in all, I like it. I do have to admit, I still love Dean's room better (nautical, a.k.a sailboat, theme). It is much easier to find sailboat-themed decor than airplane decor.

Also, I haven't put pictures in the hanging frames yet so please ignore those. I can't decide whether I want to hang black & white pictures of the family or airplane pictures. Hmmmm.

The Bluths said...: How did you paint the airplanes on the wall? Did you use a stencil or anything?; 7:16 AM
S. Fantasia said...: I used a tiny stencil that I found at Hobby Lobby and just drew it out on a large piece of cardboard (I just had to eyeball it until it looked right). Then I cut the cardboard to create a larger stencil and taped it to the wall where it wanted it, traced it, blue-taped around my pencil marks and painted away. Easy as pie. :o); 9:17 AM

for laughs...

8.23.2011 - As I leaned down to kiss Eli goodnight he puckered up and grabbed my face and started tilting his head from side to side, not letting go. Mom (after prying him off): "Eli? What on Earth was that?" Eli: "I was kissing you like a princess, Mommy."

7.30.2011 - At church the Primary teacher asked Eli, "what are some rules in your home?" Eli: "No biting!" Teacher: "That is a very good rule, why do you think that's a good rule?" Eli: "Because biting can hurt my teeth."

6.14.2011 - Dean: "I love you, Mom. You're always so pretty." Mom: "Thank you, Dean. I love you too." Dean: "But I love you even if you're not pretty." Mom: "Well, that's good. But which is it? I though you said I was always pretty." Dean: "You are. Except when you're in your pajamas... but I still love you."

4.25.2011 - Dean: "Mom, I need you to start writing down every funny thing I say and sending it to my friend Landon's house."

4.23.2011 - Eli: "I'm three and I love to slide but when I'm four I'm going to be scared of sliding, okay Mom?"

3.22.2011 - Dean: "Mom, I wish I was 26 instead of 4." Mom: "Why? Being 4 is awesome." Dean: "I know. But then I could be old like you." (Uh, gee. Thanks. Dare I tell him I'm 27?)

2.19.2011 - After an exhausting soccer game during which Dean's best bud Jordan apparently ran faster than him. Dean (with a little bit of annoyance in his voice): "Why are Jordan's shoes faster than mine?"

2.14.2011 - Mom: "Okay boys, you have to go to bed on time tonight so Mommy and Daddy can have a Valentine's date together." Dean: "That sounds fun. Can I come?" Mom: You wouldn't want to come. We're going to be boring." Dean: "Why? What are you going to do?" Mom: "We are just going to give each other lots of kisses." Dean: (After pondering for a minute and with a bashful smirk on his little face) "That's kinda gross... buuuut I guess that's okay."

1.12.2011 - Dean: "Can you have two husbands, Mom?" Mom: "Who else would you have me marry?" Dean: "Me. Does that mean that I have to give you my CTR ring for you to wear?" Mom: "Aw, that's so sweet, Dean. But you should keep your ring so you can always remember to choose the right." Dean: "Alright, then I'll get you one from the machines at Walmart. Those ones are WAY bigger than the one Dad got you!" (For the record, the one Dad got me is plenty big. But it sure doesn't have candy inside. The kid's got a point.)

11.25.10 - (As Dad keeps driving past gas stations on our Thanksgiving road trip.) Dean: "Mom, Dad keeps passing gas!"

9.22.10 - Mom: "Did you have fun playing at your friend's house today?" Eli: "Yeah, and I probably didn't bite David." Mom: "What? Did you bite David?" Eli: "Probably."

10.15.09 - Dean: "Mom, help. My nose is walking." Mom: "Don't you mean running?" Dean: "No. It's not going that fast."

10.1.09 - (As Dad caught Dean pestering a bug.) Dean: "Don't worry, Dad. This bug will be dead in twenty minutes."

9.19.09 - Mom: "Sometimes people get cranky when they feel sick." Dean: "Oh, then I think Daddy gets sick a lot."

7.17.09 - (When Mom had the flu.) Dad: "Mommy is puking." Dean: "Cool! Can I see?"

4.3.09 - Dean: "I like spiders because they have 'ape' legs."

2.19.09 - Mom: "Are you being a cowboy?" Dean: "No, I'm being a horse. But only boys can be horses, and girls can only be cows."

2.4.09 - (Dean with a Mr. potato head part stuck around his ankle.) Dean: "It's stuck! It's stuck! Please get it off me." Mom: "Oh no, Dean! I think it's stuck forever." Dean: (with a sob) "If you were Daddy you could do it."

1.29.2009 - Mom: "Dean, why are you naked?" Dean: "Because I just took all my clothes off."
