Bernadette, I basically gutted DS's room down to the bare walls. All new furniture (Bed w/trundle, new mattress & box springs, night stand, desk w/hutch & chair, dresser, and bookcase), new curtains, new posters that I put in frames. He wouldn't let me paint. They offered to replace the carpet, but we would have had to do the entire apartment, not just his room, so I said no. WAY too disruptive. So now his closet is bursting full, his dresser has been dumped into a cardboard box, he is sleeping on a mattress on the floor. New furniture starts arriving Friday, but some of the pieces were back ordered and some were "special" order so we may be looking at multiple delivery dates.
School starts Monday. He is excited! He still has to write a 2 page paper for his English class, so I am sure we will be fighting about that this weekend.
How is your foot?
Sounds like everyone's trip plans are going well!
