My coworkers Janelle and Jen came over on Sunday, and brought a DELICIOUS breakfast for us! The pastries were from A Baker's Wife's Pastry Shop - yum. I really need to get over there sometime to sample whatever is fresh from the oven. Kate brought me a treat from there while we were in the hospital too - also awesome. So far, I am definitely impressed!
Anyway, after we ate and they all got a chance to hold Annie, the next item on the agenda was checking out the crazy murals in our basement - Janelle had seen them at the party we had last March, and when I told Jen about them, she was obsessed :) I really can't believe I've never taken photos of these before! Literally every inch of the walls in our basement are painted with totally random and mismatched murals... according to our old neighbor, the murals were painted by the previous owner's grandfather (the previous owner was about 80 or something when she moved) - this house has been in their family since 1930, so who knows when these were actually painted! We do at some point want to make our basement a little more useable, but it will be a sad day when we cover up the murals!

I was wondering why you put these pictures of the basement on your flickr... gotta love the murals

Haaaaaa! So glad you took my excellent recommendation and posted these! I love them, and am glad they are now showcased publicly, as they deserve a wide audience!
Note that Annie is crying when I am holding her, but is happy as a clam while in Brynn's arms. I always make babies cry, while my 4-year-old does not. Sigh.
Those paintings are crazy! They are pretty but don't seem very practical... Kind of a neat treasure or bit of history from your house...
