Green is Everywhere....

I have really been into the color GREEN lately. As I mentioned a couple times, we re-decorated my youngest son's room. Ever since we moved them into their own room, there hasn't been much on the wall or much of a theme for my youngest son. I was determined to do something with his room for about $100, not much more. I went to a kid's store called Kid's Stuff (which is way too expensive for me), but I really liked some of their stuff. So I took some ideas from their store, bought some of their cheaper wall decorations that were on display, and pieced together a room. NOTE: We haven't painted yet, due to running out of time. But when we do, the walls will be a green color to match a green in one of the wall hangings.

Three piece wall decorations: $36 Green Crib sheet: $10 New Blanket: $18
Storage containers and hanging: already had from a different room
Wall hanging: $18 (The green in this picture is the color of the paint for the walls)

Other decorations not pictured: $20
Paint for walls: $17 (already had paint supplies)
Total: $119 for an updated look for his room, I'll try to post a picture of the final product after the painting is done. I have a feeling it will look 10x better after that.

I also bought a new netbook for grad school this summer. I arrived here yesterday....and yes, it is green too.



I don't know if I'll be over this green phase anytime soon. I'm thinking of doing the new baby's room in a green.
A quick update: We had a good father's day on Sunday, we went out to eat with my family. We went garage sale hunting on Saturday morning. Yesterday was super hot here so much of the day was spent at the pool. A couple of our friends are currently in Puerto Rico, which is making me wish we were there! This morning I spent awhile cleaning the bathroom floor because my oldest still doesn't aim well in the morning when he first wakes up to potty. This afternoon we'll probably head to the pool again since it is 95 or so degrees lately here. My youngest is such a pool boy. He loves the water. My oldest just sits in the adult pool with me and doesn't like to swim around much. I stayed up way too late last night reading a new book after the boys went to bed. Pregnancy is going good, no complaints right now. I talked to a friend last night at the pool that found out the gender of the baby with her first and second, and then waited to find out at birth with their third. She talked about how good of an experience it was and much more surprising and exciting. So, I'm still debating on what I'm going to do. Okay, there is the update:) Have a wonderful, warm day!
