Fun Monday - Take 30 Steps

Our host for this Fun Monday is Hootin' Anni and her challenge was rather, well...fun. Not that the others aren't of course, it is just that some require me to think. And me? Not always a thinker.

The challenge was to take 30 giant steps in any direction, taking any turns needed, then to stop and take a picture. You are then to to turn around and take 15 baby steps.

I started from my computer and as my main floor is not huge I turned at the stairs. I did try taking 2 stairs as my giant steps but I think I slightly strained a muscle. Something hurt anyway. So I counted each stair as one step. I turned on the landing and took the final 7 stairs. Straight ahead would have taken me into my bedroom, to the left would take me to Liam and Taylor's rooms. I turned right, which is the longest bit of hallway, the way to Saoirse and Sophie's room, and the kids bathroom. Let me tell you, I was seriously hoping we wouldn't hit 30 near the bathroom, becuase that thing is not too pretty. Although I did clean it last week, so I don't think they have caused that much damage yet. Step 30 puts me dead smack in the middle of the girls' room. Straight ahead would have been the window, so with a slight turn to the right this is the picture you get:

This shelving is over Saoirse's bed. The top shelf has a Curious George stuffed animal, along with the Curious George topper from her cake last year. The globe she received for her birthday yesterday. I bought it years ago when I worked at Hallmark. It was for Walt Disney's 100th birthday. I have been holding on to it all this time, just waiting for a lover of all things Disney. The bottom shelf is 3 Irish beanie babies and on either end are 2 holy bears, the one on the left is the St. Patrick bear and the one on the right is the Irish Spirit bear. One year, at school we did a holy bears fundraiser and we bought 14. Including for some unknown reason a Scottish one. I think I meant to order the St. George and screwed up. As per usual.

I turned around and took 15 baby steps. This led me to my bedroom. I think maybe my steps weren't babyish enough. I probably should have ended up at the bend in the hallway. Anyway, I took a picture of one of my 2 pet peeves (previously mentioned on this blog), William's flags on the wall. This is his Liverpool one. I much prefer it to the Northern Ireland one. My bedroom is not a rec room, or a games room but I guess until I get one of those two this is where they are staying. He is not keen on using the garage as his room. Though I think they would be perfect there.
