The Room

Well like I said yesterday, Garrett asked for paint for Christmas.  He loves the Pittsburg Penguins (NHL Hockey team).  He wanted the Penguins colors.  We bought a black comforter several months ago.  So that meant the paint had to be the gold yellow color.  The paint is actually Pittsburg Penguin Yellow.  It is way more green than yellow, I think.  So off we went.  It is amazing how many people wanted to help paint.  Even the little one.  Why is that not the case when I need the trash taken out or the mail to be checked or laundry to be folded? 

Here is the mess.  Garrett is the photographer so the picture is a little blurry.

Garrett has one half of the bonus room and the other half is play area.  Well TV, Wii, Playstation ( Game central).  Some of Ella's toys are in one area.  The Thomas Train table is out.  So the room is 1/2 and 1/2

Here is the finished product.  We don't have the pictures back on the wall yet.  The walls were still pretty sticky as we were moving furniture back.

He has a hammack chair hanging from the ceiling that Seth gave him for his birthday.  As you can see in the corner of the picture the Game Center.

His bed came from Noni and Papa.  They bought this bed and furniture when they first got married.  It is such a treasure.  He loves the big bed and the room that he has.  Once pictures are back on the wall, I will do a final picture. 

It is amazing what we found as we moved furniture and the bed.  WOW!  We never knew we had so many lego pieces, hockey pucks, balls, hats, socks, and anything else you can name.  We found it under Garrett's bed.  The challenge is in place to keep the room nice and neat.  Will it happen?
