The Cats Miss Their Boy
And here's what the cats did while Peyton was away. I could hardly get them off of his bed. Nimbus and Pete anyway. Bella appears to be happy for the break. Peyton REALLY loves her and likes to hug on her. Tightly. A lot.
Big Boy Room
Project #1 DONE!
While Peyton and Brandon have been traveling the last couple of weeks, I worked on transforming Peyton's room to something he could enjoy and use for the next several years... approximately 4. (which just happens to be the number of years I think we will be "camping")
So here's what I came up with:
The desk still needs to be painted and I need to paint the inside of the bottom drawer of the dresser. Its a storage locker find that we didn't end up selling. The bottom drawer was broken so I decided to just remove it and use the bottom area as shoe storage but I didn't think to paint that part of the inside.
I forgot to take a picture of it but his book storage is a wire milk crate - the kind that my Grandpa had in the shed. Also from a locker. We have two and I love them SOO much! I painted it black but didn't put a finish on it so that the black will wear off naturally and it should have a cool look to it over the years. His laundry basket is a wire egg crate - (25 cents at a garage sale!!) that I put a canvas liner in. Canvas liner came from a rolling laundry station mom and dad bought me. Its the same as the liner that is hanging above the blue tubs in the picture above. That one houses stuffed animals. New rule: if he gets a new stuffed animal, one of the existing ones has to be donated - that thing is full to the brim!
And who knew I wouldn't be able to find Pez dispensers??? I wanted to do a little display of them above his bed but I couldn't find them. So that'll be a progressive project.
Anyway... here's his grown up big boy first grader room! Hopefully it will take him all the way to middle school. He has a bedside lamp (for reading) and an alarm clock (because big boys need to learn to get up on their own eventually). Sigh.
