Summer's Over - Back to Work!

It's that time.....again.... School starts this week. After enjoying the last 7 weeks off, I'm really not looking forward to starting the morning routines once again. Most of our summer has been spend shuttling back and forth to football camp. The camp ran all summer long from 7:30am - 11:00am and the team is currently doing double practices for 6 hours a day.

When summer started, I made a set of "goals" to complete prior to returning to school and have finished them all - including the "extreme makeover" of Ryan's bedroom.

I made all 3 of these valances and the curtains - the red valance was made by piecing together a table runner and adding on some fabric - I love the way they turned out.

I took a condensed sponge and die cutted a star shape. I then sponged the accent wall with three different colors of stars....It looks so clean on the bright white. I then put the wallpaper border on the remaining 3 walls - it all came together very well.

Ryan absolutley loves it. He picked out the loft bed - although I think it's to close to the ceiling - he's been doing fine during the night. I purchased a small refrigerator that sits on the desk below - which he stocks with milk chug bottles, pop tarts, string cheese and bottled water. He's got his own "dorm room".

It was time to say good-bye to the "truck" theme! With his buddies coming over-and as they head over to high school - this gives them some extra space to hang out!

Speaking of High School....Freshman Orientation took place last week. The new high school is amazing. Everything is so new and clean. The facility is big, however only Freshman and Sophomores will attend this year - as only 60% of the school is complete. Here are some pictures from our visit:

Ryan is actually on his knees - the lockers are not very tall

This is one of the classrooms he will be in.

Here is the football field - it is all artificial turf - it's beautiful

This is Ryan's football locker - nice and big!

Ryan was very impressed by the "MV" in the bleachers.

GO MUSTANGS!!!!!!
