These are my treasures I picked up at the Har Mar Antique show today...didn't have a lot of time to browse because I was on my lunch break but I'm pleased with what I found. Ok...off to play Rock Band with the kids!

The finished room...the color isn't exactly what I wanted but it'll do, Sebastian likes it and that's the most important thing. The maps didn't stick to the backs of the shelves...they've got a gloss to them so as soon as the glue dried they fell right off...oh well. I'm glad it's done and it's organized for once (although that probably won't last ver long!)

Sebastian's room...a work in progress. I'm completely exhausted!

Well, hopefully this is the last day Sebastian's room looks this way...I plan on getting started tomorrow (since I took the day off for me and Shelby to visit Stout but she cancelled at the last minute) and I'm going to work my butt off to get it done. I changed my mind on the paint color, no orange as originally planned...now it's a color called "ripe wheat"...I wish Lisa were here, she's the queen of paint colors!

One step closer to that bittersweet day when my first born and only daughter leaves me for college. After dinner we got our first payment, her housing intention card, dorm room contract and health forms ready to mail. (yes, I did cry...again). Tomorrow I have to make an appointment to get her a meningitis shot. The "to do" list keeps getting shorter and the big day keeps getting closer...we've even started making the "what to bring" list. I can see a little panic or perhaps fear in her eyes when we do things like this, it's becoming more real everyday. I just have to keep reminding her (and myself) that she's only an hour away and that she's going to have the time of her life being out on her own and experiencing all that college life has to offer! A thought that brings me a little comfort is how much easier it'll be when Matthew leaves me (or so I hope!)

We're updating Sebastian's room...got some shelves yesterday at IKEA to hold all his books, Legos and Star Wars figures. He wants more of a "big boy" room since he'll turn 8 in April. These are the paint samples we're trying to decide between. His room will be blue and orange and maps...yes maps...state maps on the inside of the shelves and a wall sized world map on one of the walls. I can't wait to "retire" some of his toys. Hopefully the actual room turns out as nice as the room I have pictured in my head!

This is Saturday's picture that I didn't post on Saturday...we finally talked Sebastian into giving "Rock Band" a try...he was petty good on the drums!
