An Afternoon Well Spent

I spent the afternoon in the boys room.

I really wish I was organized.  ‘Cause then I would have a picture of the “before” to show you.

You really would not believe it.  It was a disaster.  Like a tornado hit it.  You could not see floor boards.  I got one giant sized black garbage bag stuffed full of garbage, just from their room.  A basket of laundry, mostly socks that they had taken off in bed and just thrown.  (No wonder they couldn’t find any socks!)

It was spectacular.

Anyway, we all worked together, and got it done.

 

Want to see?

Here’s the view from the door

Here’s part of their “accent” wall

Same wall….

And again….

The boys would like to thank their Uncle Tyler for helping to make this wall possible.

The wall of FAME!!!

Some of the various trophy’s and awards they have won.

Beneath the shelf of dreams is the bookshelf.

Guess where these books were?

In Quinlans bed.

You heard me right.  In his bed.  So, I decided to give the kid a shelf.

The Dresser area; can you guess who’s dresser is who’s?

See the red chest on Quin’s dresser?  It’s for his special stuff.

Do you see the bit of metal in the lower right corner?

Here it is.It is part of a railroad track.  I don’t know why he kept it, or why it’s in his Special Stuff box. 

  I don’t know why he kept it, or why it’s in his Special Stuff box. 

But it is.

 

Here’s Nate’s Special Stuff.

He opted for a drawer under the bed.

 

Here is the best area. 

This is for all things Lego, since that is what my boys do 90% of the time.

 

Inside the White container.

The Lego drawer….

The Bionicle drawer

The drawer for the “maps”, as my boys call them.  They are known as instructions to the rest of the world.

And a drawer for Hockey Cards

     And just in case you missed this part,

Their two favourite teams.

And they don’t mean the Dallas Stars.  That is most definitely the Seaforth Stars.

And of course we have this.  A picture of all the Canadian Olympic Hockey Players (men and women).

And a Vancouver Olympics Flag.

 

Do you like your room, boys?

 

I think they do.

 

 

And I have to show you this.

This was my view at suppertime.

Sun peeking out!
