Superhero Room

After I painted Catie's room yellow back in January Robbie has said that he wanted his room painted.  About a month ago he cried that his room wasn't "cool enough" and couldn't sleep in it.  (How does he know that??)  Matt's mom had already planned to come down for his birthday, so we planned to have her watch the boys while we painted.  Thursday morning Matthew moved some of the furniture out of the room and pushed the rest into the middle.  We pulled Robbie's mattress into the computer room because we knew they couldn't sleep in the room that night.  I painted around the trim and ceiling while Matthew did the middle parts.

All ready to paint!  The blue stripe at the top is where Matthew taped around the maroon stripe that was there.  Robbie cried because the tape that Matthew bought was too dark (this was Wednesday night), so we got some of the blue paint and did a little by his bed (to the left of the mirror).  He was, and still is, thrilled with the blue we picked.

Let the painting begin!

Superman blue

 Matthew had to retape the stripe so we could paint it red.

Closer look at the red stripe.

Barbara took the boys to Chick-fil-a for lunch and we were going to put the decals on the wall while they were gone.  Unfortunately we were delayed by the guy cleaning out our dryer vent, so they got home before we had really started putting them up.  It was hard keeping them out of the room, but we told them there was a surprise that wasn't ready yet.

I'd say they were excited.  :)



Alex kept wanting to go in his bed to see the planes and cars and then go to Robbie's bed to see the superheros.  We finally told him we're not going to keep taking him in and out of his crib, our arms were sore from painting!
