So, before Eddie left for Atlanta he got Owen's room painted! Holy GREEN!!!! It is LIME GREEN!!! I tried to convice Owen into picking a blue for his room, but he did not want blue. He wanted green. Anyway, at first it looked like someone green slimed his room, but after the second coat it darkened a little (this is the darkened version, believe it or not) and now I really, really like it!!
This all started because I decided to move Emmett into the guest bedroom and put the baby in his room. I'm leaving Emmett's twin bed in the same room as the crib (in his old room) and giving Emmett the queen bed in the guest room. We have lots of out of town visitors and I didn't want to have to move the queen bed in the basement. So, now when we have visitors they can have Emmett's queen bed and Emmett can sleep in Owen's top bunk or in our bed (as he does most of the time now). And, we have three sets of visitors coming in September!!! Yahoo! My good high school friend, Amy, is coming from NYC w/ her hubby and new baby. Then, my other good friend (and Owen's godmom) from high school, Amy, is coming from E'ville. Then my mom, sister in law, niece (Evelyn) and niece (Josephine - who we haven't met yet) is coming. I want the rooms done before everyone arrives.
OK...back to the plans, I was digressing. We started moving Emmett into the guest room and got him a new "sports" quilt and supplies, and then Owen mentioned that Emmett wasn't even that into sports yet and he would sure like new bedding. After thinking about it, we decided he had a valid argument. His bedding was still the original fire engine bedding he got at 2 1/2 and we've never painted his room since we've moved in. We painted Em's room when we moved in and he hasn't really outgrown his old (dog) bedding yet. So, we're redoing both boys rooms......Owen's is a soccer room. His fave items are the soccer sheets and pillows. I've yet to get stuff to hang on the wall. Eddie flies back on Friday and then he's going to finish Em's room over the weekend. I'll send those pics next. Progress.....a nice thing :)

Wow! Holy green! I think it looks great!....but totally unexpected! I was excpecting to be over at your house this week doing stripes for Emmett! What made you change your mind and do Owen's first? Does he love it?
Love the green, and just can't beat those awesome sheets!

Diego just saw the pics of Owen's room for the first time. "Oh, that's so much better! Sooo better!" HAHAHA! As we know, Diego has never been a fan of most 'normal' boy things - cars, trains, fire engines, etc. I'm sure you're thrilled he likes your new choice! Just wait until he sees Emmett's new 'baseball' room. He's REALLY going to approve!
