Finally...One Room Done!

We've lived in our house 7 months now and I've been working on getting it the way I want the entire time it seems, and making little progress.  I've done work in some way or another on nearly every room in the house (lots of painting) and finally I finished one and it just happened to be Collin's bedroom.  I would have never thought his would be the first one done, but I'm so glad it is.  He LOVES it, I do too!

Before...

This is the only real 'before' pic I have, which displays my crazy kids in the room jumping on the toddler bed (that would be Collin) and the queen mattress plopped on the floor.  It was quite the hodge-podge of a room for a while. 

After...

 Ready for take-off!

 Collin loves his room.  He loves airplanes and now loves to tell everyone, "I have airplanes in my bed!"

I thought I'd add a few more close-ups of the airplane stuff...too cute to not. :)

Mermaids and Sharks, Oh My!

For Halloween, Mackenzie fell in love with this mermaid costume because, yep, you guessed it....it was turquoise!  She does like mermaids too.  There was no debating that costume.  So lucky for me that Collin doesn't really care so much and I got to pick his costume.  :)  He was a shark.  Our week of Halloween was filled with parties and trick-or-treating and waaaayyyyy too much candy!  They enjoyed all the festivities, and their favorites were ringing doorbells and handing out candy to other kids.

Preparing for a night of Trunk-Or-Treat!
