Do you remember when we moved in to our new house that Quinn wanted the blue bedroom?

I thought those 3 little windows might be an issue and that the other room would make a better bedroom.

You can see how a 6 year old boy might not want this room.  So, we told him that he could pick any theme for his new room.  And he chose Star Wars.  After lots of googling I found my inspiration and got to work.

I decided to paint the room myself and then everything else I found on either Etsy.   Welcome to Quinn\’s Star Wars Room.

I have a very cool fan that will replace this girlie one.  It\’s on our to-do list.  Toys on the floor courtesy of Mr. Sonic.

I put several ideas together to create this.  It\’s just dark blue paint with a white border and a vinyl decal I had made for Quinn from an etsy seller for less than $10.  I got the light sabre holder at Home Depot.

I love the bright pops of red, blue, yellow, and green artwork on the wall.  Those were from another etsy seller and I love the simplicity of them.  And Quinn was specific about where each one should go.  All the space ships and stars on the dark blue are peel off vinyl decals.

I love the addition of the red growth chart too.  And  \”May the force be with you\” as you exit.

Nothing like using a sharpie to write your name on a freshly painted wall : )  No worries, it\’s his room.

Now only if Quinn would sleep in his newly designed Star Wars room we would really be making some progress.  And how does the original boys blue bedroom look?  Like an office still in progress.   And a bonus of a sleeping puppy at my feet 🙂

I am in a new photography class and this week our assignment is all about lines.

Since it\’s just Sonic and I during the day he is the subject of many of my pictures.

It\’s a good thing he\’s this cute because he is on my very, very short list right about now.

I was up at 4 am and saw this light spilling in to the house so of course I had to get my camera and tripod.

Don, look away.  This dog seriously loves shoes.  Well, he loves just about anything he can get his mouth on.  Shoes, clothes, napkins, toys, pliers, screwdriver.  He grabs it and runs.

Quinn\’s two bottom teeth have been wiggly for the last couple of weeks.  On Wednesday I noticed him doing something weird with his tongue and it was a very loose tooth.  Thursday morning he woke up and really started working it and during breakfast asked me to get the tweezers to pull it out.  He told me to pull the flat one because it was at a 90 degree angle and also to pull slowly.

And it came right out.

After I got a couple of pictures, Quinn ran downstairs to tell Sonic all about it.    We tucked the tooth safely away in the baseball mitt that Don used as a kid.

If you\’re on FaceBook you probably followed the discussion on the Tooth Fairy.  We opted for 6 $1 coins for the first tooth and a note from the tooth fairy.

I was getting ready in the bathroom this morning and Quinn woke up early and started looking to see if the tooth fairy had visited.

My sleepy guy.

Reading the note from the tooth fairy.

His other bottom tooth is pretty loose so I think the tooth fairy will be back soon.
