New Rooms

Both of the boys were gifted a room redo for their birthday's back in May.  We have been slowly working on this... and they are finally (almost) done.  Both boys chose to move the furniture around in their rooms.  Which they love - but - required they both had to get rid of their baby gliders that have been in their rooms since they were born.
David chose a hunting theme and wanted all camo.  He also got a new desk because school will be happening in his room this semester as Angie will be working.


David got a bean bag in place of his glider that had been in his room.  He also got a "deer" for the wall.  He wanted it to look as "real" as possible and so he chose a mounting board and helped stain it.
He also received a pair of antlers from our old neighbors for his birthday.  He again wanted them mounted.  So he picked out the board and helped stain it.
He also helped stain a new shelf for his LEGO collection.  The goal is to cut down on the LEGO pieces all over his dresser and the playroom.

This is is new night light...
Adam chose a Pokemon theme.  This never would have happened before being quarantined for months.  We have yet to repaint his wall... those squares used to house dinosaurs for his old theme.  Greg did draw a Pikachu and we framed it to go on the wall.  But it is not in it's permanent spot.  Cousin Luke gave Adam one of his old Pikachu stuffies.
This is Adam's LEGO wall.  He has Angie's old shadow box with his Mini Figures inside.  He also painted the board on the top of this wall - which was part of his birthday gifts.  This will be his study area for school too - we moved David's old desk over for Adam.






And this is Adam's new night light.
