A couple tips if you want to make your own wall I used these 3M command strips. Same adhesive strips I used for the random K collage.
I also used a mix of real polaroid, Polaroid Notes these are so awesome and made my own. I scanned in a polaroid. Next, I sized it to make sure it was actual size. Then I edited and cropped photos & dropped them onto the scan & saved them individually. Last, printed them out. Also, Polaroid has a website that will change any photo you have into a polaroid here. I laid out the polaroids on the ground how I want them. Measured the photos on the ground then measured the wall and marked where the bottom was. I started from the bottom up... is anyone still reading this? ;)
My favorite songs right now that Collin plays and sings (Quincey loves singing along) The Hardest Part and Death & All His Friends both by Coldplay. Apologize by One Republic is pretty rad too.
Oh, I can't forget Christmas Monkey. What? You've never heard of that one. It's a new track by Avery. Two words--Christmas Monkey over and over and over to the tune of Jingle Bells.

I just read your story of getting the piano. i CANNOT believe he found that at a yard sale. we have one similar but it is ugly old brown :( I was just telling my husband how you had our piano only in WHITE! i do love it! do you mind telling the brand? none of us really play the piano but it is so fun for the kids to play on it and one day.....i will learn!

my last posting just had a polaroid heart in it. :) tip: if you get www.photoscape.com (free)you can also change any photo into a polaroid.
I just love the songs kids make up...there is nothing better in the whole world than to hear them sing!!!!
I'm guessing Avery watched the Curious George Christmas special? My son liked the Christmas monkey song too!
