Well, the kids are no longer able to share a room. They were fighting all the time, complaining about each others things in the room, and Ethan was keeping Ella up at night, and Ella was waking Ethan up in the morning. We decided we need a bigger house, so we started doing a budget and determined that wasn't possible. So onto plan B. We got the basement bedroom cleaned up, moved out a lot of the clutter, and voila, Ethan has his own little suite. Not only does he have a closet bigger than mine and Eric's, he also has an attached bathroom. Not a bad set up, except that it's icy cold, he needs to sleep with a heating blanket, and it dark as a cave, but he doesn't seem to mind. I let both kids decide what they wanted as "themes" in the room. Ethan picked transformers,
and Ella picked (surprise, surprise) princess'.
We went online, picked out vinyl (thank you Ryan for the ebay gift certificate!), picked out paint colors, and got started. After basically an entire week of working hard (and all day everyday of the new year weekend) we have basically got two rooms the kids LOVE. I still have fabric to make somemore "fancy decorations" as Ella says, so if anyone has ideas I would love some!
