Mon 10/15/2007 12:21p | lol--- glad to see I'm not the only one she tells to 'shut up'. Not feeling quite so bad anymore. Welcome to the club Villians. She seems to give it out better than she can take it. *ducks behind Villians for cover*
My mom was just telling me about the accident this morning. Tragic. I always hate the grapevine anyways, but it is hard to imagine that kind of pile up.
I hope your trip goes well Villians. Just remember to tell your SIL slow & steady and I'm sure you'll get there just fine. |

Mon 10/15/2007 12:59p | Welcome back MM. I know I am late to the party as usual. I was at HomeDepot walking around with my Starbucks this morning. I have to choose new paint colors for my kids rooms.
Villians, I hope your trip is not completely affected by that horrible accident. |

Good thing is I will be driving - she moved my excursion once - jumping in it like it was her little suburban - but she soon realized the excursion is much more like a truck than a tall station wagon like her suburban!! Oh yeah I think the desiel engine starting up didn't help her any - it is rather loud - My kid's joke they used to get caught playing video games or watching tv when we were out on weekdays (forbidden on school days) - Now they know when I am coming down the street, unless it's trash day then they just look to see if it's me or the trash man!!! :D
Paint colors - Buzz lightyear colors and princess pinks!!
My friends did a really cool buzz room for there 3 and 6 yr old boys. They did the buzz blue walls with a wide orange band (10in)though the middle they added the buzz green edging (about and inch) on the top and bottom of the orange and in the middle of the orange they added the buzz border. I think since then they have added some rockets and stars to the ceiling.
Wait DD is 7 I would go with the tinkerbell colors using the purple for the accent as she gets older it would still age well for her...

Mon 10/15/2007 2:55p | Thanks for the ideas Villians. I can with the theme you mentioned for DD7 as her room is nothing specific. My DS4 has Cars bedding for his bed and Nemo bedding that I save for the trundle. My DH jokingly suggested black. "Ha Ha funny" was my response. I don't want to do red or grey either so I am thinking 100 acre sky or bliss blue from Behr. Any other thoughts? |

Mon 10/15/2007 3:34p | Okay computer burped so my comment is lost so I will try this again...
You must have missed the thread from the summer about the cove bar - It explained how I bring in my own drinks - I enjoyed a nice rum and coke at the plaza inn while watching the fireworks on my last trip!! You don't want me to drink tequilla for that to happen I have to be quite drunk already!! A nice vodka and cherry lemonade is quite refreshing though and screamin is a different ride with a drink or two ;p...
okay for the room - I would stick with a blue for the top with some clouds and maybe a goodyear blimp...Then the bottom I would go with the dirt color (no not kidding) and maybe make it look like the dirt track from the movie going around the room. Maybe you could find a nice boarder or something creative to bring the colors together with some car accents - I would say gow with the cars since the nemo is on the trundle. This would be able to grow with him as you could add some real dirt track cars or motorcross bikes as he got older...It all depends on how artistic you are!! |

Mon 10/15/2007 4:46p | Ok Villians how many mudslides have you had? The Goodyear Blimp? Are you serious? LOL! The rest of your idea not too bad. Unfortunately I stink at drawing anything. My DH is better so maybe I can put him to work. As far as our meeting byob or not MM wants a picture. I guess that is the least we can do for her. :) Especially since she has to wait until 2009. I don't know how she can wait like that. |

Mon 10/15/2007 5:57p | Rent a projecter - That's how my sister has done stuff on her walls - Poject the stuff on the wall and trace it out. I remember a blimp in the movie - I only said goodyear because I can't remember the name of the company that the blimp represented in the movie!! |

Mon 10/15/2007 8:56p | You can see how much I pay attention to my kids movies. Maybe I should watch Cars again without flipping through a magazine. I like your projector idea. It would look much better since I can't draw a straight line. Thanks for the tips. |
