As I mentioned prior I have been painting. Here is a shot of the living room color and you can see the shelving for our DVD’s that Bo built as well. I LOVE it! I need to get motivated and start the next color though. It seems that motivation to paint doesn’t come to me until I’ve started and see some progress and thus you can imagine that now that one section is done it’s hard to get the motivation to start the next…
Aidan’s “big boy” bed. He likes to get under it but doesn’t care that much for sleeping in it. Of course if you let him get tired enough he’ll sleep most anywhere so that’s been our strategy of late as I don’t like the routine that includes putting him in bed 30 or so times a night and there’s isn’t a lock on his door (just kidding on the last one.)
Victoria’s new bedroom furniture. As you can tell we didn’t get past the buying and setting up furniture part of things but that will come with time. Given our current rate of progress the kids rooms ought to be done by the time that they get ready to move out assuming that we stay here that long, lol. They don’t seem to mind though. We don’t see them nearly as often now that we’ve put nicer furniture in their rooms. I guess that we won’t get Aidan anymore cool furniture because after all this work bearing and rearing the children we’d like to have at least one of them around to hang out with.
The first shot is hard to get any details out of because of the blinding quality of the lizard set up. You get a true sense of what his room is like though. There is one bright spot that is the lizards and one dark spot that is the cave that he’s made under his loft bed. He says that it’s pretty hot up there and I believe it as the hot air from the lizard tank rises (as well as the stench I’d imagine, yeah plug in oil diffusers). He loves being up high and having a clean room. The first time I got in there with him and cleaned it he was quite skeptical as to how having it truly clean could really benefit him but after a few hours the benefits were clear to him and he thanked me and now is being great about keeping it cleaned up. I guess not having to walk over garbage to get to bed can have it’s advantages.
As promised BIG HAIR! Gotta love winter, ugly fur pillows and the power of static electricity.
