HAND PAINTING A MURAL WALL : Adventuring Family of 11

[@obryans53]

A safety tip for Esther - sitting too close to steering wheel can cause serious injury or even death if the airbag deploys. Just a minor accident can sometimes deploy them. I had an adaptive equipment car dealership install gas and brake extenders on my car because I am just under 5'. Cushions give you more height in the car seat. You have a beautiful smile and I really enjoy your family's videos!

[@KnorppandSouth11]

Thanks for the tip!

[@kated2147]

Most newer cars’ airbags will automatically turn off if you’re too close! I’m about 5’2” and my mom heard about being able to get approved to get them disabled for short drivers and they told us that we didn’t have to because the car would do it for us. I know my car does that for the passenger seat too. Even though I set it further back, I don’t have to worry about it deploying if my cat’s carrier is strapped in there because it recognizes an underweight passenger and won’t deploy the airbag because it’s likely a pet or a car seat.

[@lindamyfatcatcow2606]

Knorpp and South Check to see if your car has a button (usually near the steering wheel) that moves the brake pedal closer to the seat. I’m 5’ and my van has that option, it’s much safer then sitting so close to the steering wheel. 😊

I’m 5 ft and always heard the same.

[@rosannasauereisen2827]

It's funny how we (as people) can crave to get away for a vacation or adventure, but somehow getting back to routine like washing dishes and cooking feels so nice afterwards.

[@Disney4523]

Esther, I drive with a pad too and I’m 4’9 and 26 years old! Lol 😂

[@amyrivers9792]

When I was teaching I mainly had year 1 students (4 to 5 years old). Every year I used the motto 'if we work as a team we can do anything'. That might make an awesome shirt. Then we would put our hand prints in rainbow colours around it. They read it every time they walked into our classroom. It really helped the kids understand that they are an essential part of our team. If a child is not happy and or doesn't feel comfortable or something is wrong at home. I miss my teaching days so much. I've gone from working as a teacher, being a single foster mum. Now I'm happy if I manage to have a shower without collapsing. This morning I slipped on the bathroom and whacked my spine and my head very hard. I'm now having shooting pains up my spine. We must all appreciate the small things. Thank you again for sharing your life with us. It can be lonely world even if the room is filled with people. Sending you all love and prayers. If you ever have something you want prayed for just ask and that's what I will pray for. It helps me because it gives me a purpose.

Those raindrops are soooo beautiful. Paint a little white curved line on one side and make them three-dimentional. Love from sLOVEnia, Vanda. Slovenia is the only country in the world that has love in her name.

[@SuperSunshinesue]

Pitter pat. Pitter pat. Sing a song of falling rain. You colour my world and enrich my heart and it is a complete honour to be counted amongst your friends. Truly.

[@kridder1018]

I'm loving the rainbow raindrops wall! So beautiful. I'm showing my daughter that, as she loves rainbows and she loves art so it would be a perfect thing for her to try. Great idea!! I love the idea of the night sky on the back wall...maybe even glow in the dark paint for the stars? Hot air balloons in the rainbow colors hanging in the corner of an opposite wall would be cute. Still young, but without being too young. Or even little toy air planes in rainbow colors. Jude and Eve are two lucky little ones to get an awesome room like that! Can't wait to see the ideas for the other kids rooms in time. Loving the diy inspired vlogs lately. So many ideas! Thanks!

[@boniacuna8573]

You all are such a beautiful family. I see how close you guys are and it is just amazing how down to earth you all are. Thank you for sharing your lives with us and the precious memories with us as well. Love the tear drop mural it works really well in the room. Lots of blessings and love to you all.

[@debbieomi]

Love the raindrops! Perfectly fun for the youngsters' room! Way to go, Esther! Enjoy your lessons and new found freedom and the responsibility that goes along.

[@jemimahiggins3591]

I haven't watched enough but I love the patient way the dad tough the girl to drive I love her smile

[@TheWallaceReboot]

Still just over here home baseless and living vicariously. Decorating and crafting are a big passion for me, so it's nice to get to at least watch you go at it! The mural is adorable. And go Esther!

[@KnorppandSouth11]

Yes - that was so hard for me too! You’ll have to live through us and we’ll live through you!

[@mariegabrieldavidpio901]

It's so beautiful how your children love you. Truly beautiful!

[@wasmorton]

I LOVE the clouds and multicolored raindrops. Beautiful!

[@fancysfolly554]

I love the way you incorporate your work into your family life...you all are such a breath of fresh air!!! Don’t change!!! You are all so sweet and decent and kind of innocent...again. Don’t change!!!

[@rebeccaalbrecht771]

Good choice for your office- in the hub of the family yet you have a quiet space, visible but do not disturb!

[@shynncat9647]

The shelving having the books in color order is very LifeWithBeans style 🌈🌈

[@kernowfairy]

Thanks for sharing your happy family life, love your videos...your children are a credit to you and I can see how happy they are... Love the decorating Megan, you have great ideas...what a pleasure it is to watch you all ....God bless you are all so amazing...the love shines xxxxx

[@ydkdy1]

You guys make me so happy

[@sacredmommyhood]

LOVE the mural!!! Such a fun idea!!!

[@brendashepherd-campbell9394]

you can get glow in the dark paint which can make day become night too

[@IWillYouLove]

I love how the kids follow you around the house. I still do that with both of my parents and I’m 22 😂

[@teragram8006]

The new house is really growing on me! Something about it just has a cozy autumn feel to it. I think fall and the holiday season will look really lovely if Megan goes all out with the decor..

[@leslievalenciano-lopez8887]

The Mural looks fantastic!!! Thx for the motivation, Megan!!!

[@alektasdiarydump]

I can relate to Esther so well!! I’m currently seventeen learning how to drive and I am 4’10’’ sooo a little short. So I have to have a pillow or something that gets me up higher too when driving. It’s kind’ve frustrating but also kind’ve fun!

[@CallyRose]

Congrats Esther! Have fun learning to drive. Love the wall and all the colors. You two always do such fun things for your beautiful children. Y’all are amazing❣️ I just love watching you all! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💝🧡💛💚💙

[@taramcchesney4213]

Just curious does Daniel not want to drive?

[@PNWShanaLee]

They explained in their YT Live video. Check it out, it was fun and they really answered so many questions. I stinkin love this family!

[@taramcchesney4213]

I’ll have too😊

[@refiloelesedimoloi3397]

Don't have time to watch the live, please explain

[@melissaholman2605]

The raindrops look amazing and really help tie the room together.

[@Robin-eu8ve]

love ,love the rug👍👍💕💕💕

[@meiraloraduncan8953]

Love the idea of making the night sky over the bed. Stars on the ceiling. A couple of bright beanbags and fun pillows. Create a reading or quiet space with a hanging fabric bower or fabric tent with wooden poles(Magic cabin has them and you can find similar ones in other places). That catalog has amazing toys that encourage children to use their imagination and creativity.

[@ajtwinmama2410]

Love the mural🌈🌧

[@glendaruff125]

Esther that brings back memories. You did good. Surprised none of the kids wanted to help paint.

[@kylaturner6865]

Hey I just watched your video and I think that you should have each of the kids pick a color from the paints and paint either stripes or shapes on the walls in the garage I think that it would be pretty coool

[@mas8844]

Megan is so creative.....

[@rhondapowers8711]

Esther you are a doll ! You did great driving !

[@tikabirdsong756]

[@acountrylife]

[@thejourney1369]

Esther is a brave soul letting her dad show her first driving lesson on You Tube! I’m vertically challenged too! I’m only 4’6” and we had to do modifications to the accelerator for me. And I couldn’t learn to drive a straight shift because I can’t get the clutch to the floor.

[@erinc.4080]

Esther, nice job!

[@Judymontel]

I feel you, Esther! I'm 5'4", so I don't need a cushion, but boy do I have to scoot that seat up to the steering wheel. My son got into my car over the summer and started laughing. Fortunately his older sister is shorter than I am and has respect for us short-legged types. So exciting to see you starting to drive!!

[@larissaswinkels3661]

Judith Montel That’s what I wanted to say. Can’t she scoot the seat up, or have they already done that. I’m only 5 ft. 5 and I don’t need a cushion.

[@Judymontel]

@@larissaswinkels3661 They did scoot the seat up, but she's a good deal shorter than we are - under 5 foot, I imagine (actually, a lot like my oldest!) so the cushion is to make sure she can see clearly out the windshield. Exciting to see someone learning to drive, isn't it??

[@coleenhudson8924]

Yay, Esther! Great mural, Mom and I love y'all, too! Deltona, Florida. ♥️🎈♥️

[@summerdawn2982]

I think the star wall would be pretty too:)

[@kated2147]

This reminds me of the first time my dad took me driving. We went in the middle school parking lot and when we finally went on the road, I didn’t realize how much you had to slow down to turn and I ended up on a two wheel right hand turn.

[@monamorgan8614]

Don’t you just love sweet Ester👍🏻💖 she’s a doll. Good job of teaching her dad. What a fun kids room.

[@tjreyer7281]

You could try and find some constellation night sky wallpaper for the ceiling of the nook! Great job! Looks awesome!

[@dnil.a.2056]

What a nice vlog! So much happened in one day!!! I thought it was super sweet and cute how your son wanted to just hug you while you talked about your painting project.

[@chelseah6152]

I remember the days of teaching my kids to drive. I used to make fun of my parents for grabbing the ceiling bar, “phantom braking” and praying to themselves when they were teaching me. That was before I taught my two and found myself doing it myself.

[@jillmoore6351]

You are very sweet and mind people. I am glad you consider me a friend. Blessings to all your family. 💕

[@Mrsknightful]

Esther is my fav. 🙂

[@susanmarsh2856]

Esther the Honda Civic has the facility to raise/lower the seat as well as the steering wheel. With a little experience you will find what is comfortable for you. From another short stuff Honda Civic owner.

[@nancysimpson952]

Just want you to know that I really miss seeing Daniel on your videos. Havent seen much of him lately. I was just watching an old video. The one where he got a job at Chick Fil A. It reminded me of what a sweet & personable young man he is. If being part of the videos just isnt his thing, I respect that. But if it is, would love to see more of him.

[@rachelbarry6081]

I think the two murals may detract from each their. Personally I like the pendants because they complement the raindrops. Plus, that alcove is already dark and with the dark bedding, I think it may be too much. Maybe puts stars on the opposite wall so they can see it when they are sleeping?
