Blue!

Monday was the day to add a new color of the rainbow to my paint shirt. It's already got brown from our living room (peanut butter to be exact), green (from our playroom), red (kitchen), yellow and purple (Janelle's room). Last Thursday night my mom called and said she wanted to come over and stay with the kids while I went out.

I knew exactly where I wanted to go...Home Depot to look at paint cards! I love looking at them all, comparing shades and colors, playing with the room sampler. It's just as exciting as going to the mall! I'd been saying that I was going to paint Spencer's room since...well...since I found out I was having a boy when I was pregnant with him. 2 years later I finally got around to it. I chose a sky blue. I'd originally planned on making his room themed with airplanes (which is where the blue came from). But it has now expanded to a "Things that go" theme - cars, trucks, planes, trains. I still need to find some little nick knacks to add to that theme, so it's an ongoing process.

Having those two paint cans in my garage all weekend made me incredibly itchy to get started. So despite Kyle's wishes to not start it until the desk in our playroom (another story, another time) was finished, I went at it on Monday - kids home and all! (Yes, it was a very long day of "Thomas," "Hannah Montana," and chicken nuggets for dinner. But I've made up for it the rest of the week and all but forbidden 30 minutes a day of tv.)

Ta da!

We also finally put up those little blue shelves that I bought probably a year ago that were clearanced at Target for I think $6 each. Again, I'm still lacking in the knick knacks area, but we sure have PLENTY of stuffed animals...stuffed animals to display, stuffed animals to keep in his bed, stuffed animals to play with, stuffed animals to put in a little basket that hold Spencer's door open, and even more stuffed animals in Janelle's room!

This is the beginning of my "Things that go" theme. I found it at Hobby Lobby for $6, I couldn't pass it up!

Here is his valance that matches his crib bedding. I'm going to be sad when he outgrows it because it's so cute!
This is his little toys/diaper supplies/bookshelf. The frames above it are his initials. I'm going to change them a little eventually to add somemore cars/trains, etc. They're just baby themed right now.
