Changes

I got my King Size bed back for Mother's Day. After about 6+ months of long discussions and lots of thought, we finally decided to take our old room back from Marcus and put him downstairs. We had to give up this beautiful King size bed when Marcus was born because I wanted all the kids on the main level which put us downstairs. Unfortunately this beauty didn't fit downstairs so it's been in the garage for the last 3 years. Now that the playroom is downstairs and Marcus is comfortable with the stairs; we decided it was time to get our bed back.

Marcus wasn't too excited about the change at first until I let him decorate his room. It all started out with him wanting a "Toy Story" room. The more we discussed it, I figured out he wanted Andy's room with blue skies and clouds. I was all prepared to paint this weekend. I brought Marcus to the store and picked out the paint samples. Then we went and looked at the wall decals. They had lots of "Toy Story" ones...but then Marcus spotted the "Cars" decals and went crazy. So "Toy Story" turned into "Cars"...I have to say I'm relieved; I really wasn't up for painting. Marcus told me where to place all the decals...isn't it cute? The pictures on the side wall are from a poster set he got that he colored (Emma colored the top one).

We put up his name and more posters colored by Marcus. He was so excited and so proud. He really did take part in decorating this room. I have to say this was a good move too...the 2am wake up calls from Marcus have stopped since he's been down there; he actually sleeps in until 6 or 6:30am vs. his usual 5:30am wake up times...it's been quite nice. Plus our bed is so much more comfy than the queen downstairs...Marcus doesn't seem to mind it tough.

When we were done decorating the girls came in to check it out. Marcus showed them everything and then he said "My room is FINALLY COOL!"

The best part for me is it only cost us $14.99 for the wall decals...we had everything else to make it complete.
