Right after completing my blog yesterday I got an idea: Wouldn't it make more sense to move Ian than to move everything to opposite rooms? I called Sean and he agreed, so I planned my attack on Ian. Anyone who knows him knows that he does not "do" change well, so I had to have a good plan in place.

After he got up and settled, I told him that Daddy and I had a surprise for him. I explained that he could move into the computer room, decorate the room any way he wanted, and he would then have his very own computer in his room. He was thrilled and told me he wanted to decorate the place in fish. We looked on line and found a nice fish mural, so we went to Lowes and picked that out. When we got home I cleaned out the whole room (other than the computer and shelves) and then painted the ceiling. I had to go back to Lowes in the interim because the rolling pin extender snapped and the roller landed on my head, so while I was there he and I picked out the color he wanted for his room as well.

While the ceiling dried I did 3 hours of laundry (seriously), ironing the 4 baskets of clothes that have been in there since the first of the year. I feel like a have a brand new wardrobe!

Then, last night, I painted the trim in the room. By that time it was 11pm and I was worn slap out so I went to bed. Sean wandered in around 3am and has been snoring since, so I'm up and ready to go. I just pulled out two shelves and puttied the holes, but I can't do much more because I need Sean to pull the desk away from the wall so I can get to the trim and shelves.

It's going to be a busy day today, too! I'd love to get the whole room painted today, and Ian is desperate to get a "fish lamp" and a "pretend fish tank", so I have a feeling we'll be at the Flea Market as well. Fun in the 90 degree heat!
