Emily and I put the mural together using inexpensive masking tape, construction paper for buildings, and Post-It Notes of various sizes for the windows. I love how bright and colorful it looks in our living room!
Added bonus -- it makes a super-fun backdrop for spontaneous jumping on the couch sessions!!
Even Clara joined in on the fun!
Thanks, Eren, for providing such great inspiration! If you haven't seen Eren perform, you should check him out here!

Dear Valerie,
This was the first thing which came to mind. Gals, if you don't remember this, just ask your husbands. They will most likely remember!
And, for good measure, "My post-it notes!!!"
Love,
Mark
You are such a FUN mom! Emily and Clara are so lucky to have you!
That's a great city scape. But, wow - between the jumping on the couch, and the video game even my husband doesn't recognize, you guys have us feeling really old!
Ok those building rock. Looks like I'll have to loosen my grip on "my post-it notes!!!"
Not sure how often you guys jump on the couch, but Emily's face in BOTH pictures is PRICELESS! Such JOY!! I love it!
Hmmmm...... maybe that's what we'll do for the upstairs. Love this.
SO much fun! I love your mural. I have not heard of Eren; I'll check him out - thanks!

How lovely! So simple yet so effective! Looks like you guys had fun!!

@ An Almost Unschooling Mom -- Hahahaaa!! I don't remember that video game either! But according to Mark, it is a classic. Go figure! I highly recommend jumping on the couch/bed.... it's so much fun!
@ Ivy/Anna -- Yay!! I think I will be scribbling notes down on the windows of the buildings. Functional Art!
Tracey C -- Not very often, but I think Emily remembers and talks about it for a looooong time afterwards! There was lots of giggling in this house!!!
very fun! Love the way it turned out :-)
Very cute! And the kiddos look like they are having the time of their lives! Priceless!
@ danita -- I bet it would look awesome in the basement!
@ Lois Lane -- Hee hee! The only time I let the girls jump on the couch is when I'm jumping with them. I can't let them have ALL the fun! :-)
I LOVE this!!! So colorful and the kids are having so much fun!
I love the city scape mural. That is so cute that I want one on a wall in here. I'll wait for you to come by and put it up for me. :)
@ Petula -- You're so funny!!
Very cute!
I love the large building and the jumping on the couch!
That is so cute, what a great idea and I love you jumping on the sofa!
Emily and Clara are simply ADORABLE! Great mural... I love it.
I love all the fun things you do with post-it notes!
