Room Makeovers

Well, the boys and girls are exchanging rooms. We have a three bedroom home, so Parker and Dalton share a room and Ana (when she is here) and Joanna share a room. We purchased a new bed for the boys after Christmas, however it won't fit in their room, so we are putting the boys in the girls room since it is bigger and cooler (no fan is needed in the summer time, and we'll have to remove the fan since they will now have a bunk bed).

The probelm is that we painted the girls room light green last year, and light green is not very boy-ish. So I opened my big mouth and said that I could paint a camoflage pattern, thereby keeping the light green and incorporatng dark gree, tan, and brown. Three weeks later I have completed painting and we will hopefully assemble the boys room this weekend.
