Ok, I’m only posting about stuff at school because that’s where all the projects are. Here is a view of the boys’ bathroom at school.
The ‘new’ thing is the plant hanging on the wall. Every time I take a little guy to the bathroom, I look at that metal bar at the top and think, “Man, that’s ugly. I should do something about it.” I’ve thought about hot-gluing slices of branches, or wrapping it in hemp rope (nautical style), or maybe using a Bedazzler! Then the boy finishes up, we walk back to the room, and the thought leaves my head completely. Anyway, this is the solution. Eventually that metal bar will be completely covered in leaves, and then I will forget to water it and it will die.
The sticks (diamond willow, by the way) have been hanging there since the beginning of the school year to make it more ‘natural’ feeling. The border on the wall has bears and deer, which the boys love. I’ve thought about hanging some interesting animal pictures on the walls in the stalls, but they really don’t need anything else to distract them from their aim. (Just being awake seems to be distraction enough.)
