The handprint and footprint canvases that we made last summer have always hung above Silas and Zoe's cribs. I was so excited the day we finished them that I hung them rather haphazardly. Recently Silas has been able to reach his prints and he pulled them off the wall, along with the nails. At Target today we finally got the brackets that I needed to hang the canvases more solidly. After S&Z woke up from a 3 hour (!!!) long nap today, we got to work on the project.
First we nailed the brackets onto the canvases,
Then we hung the canvases on the wall in their bedroom.

The wall along their cribs is quite large, so we also picked up a wall applique set that is inspired by Eric Carle's book, "The Very Hungry Catepillar".
I think it turned out pretty cute, and the kids can't stop talking about it!
The wall also has a meaningful theme for us - Silas and Zoe's little baby footprints and handprints, surrounded by the story of a catepillar that eats and grows and metamorphoses into a beautiful butterfly. It's cheesy, but that's kinda where I'm at these days :) Life is good, and I'll take it.
