This is Abby in her "buggy room" (our former bedroom... it used to be "fiddlehead green" with cream trim and gold and rose accents...now it's orange & bright green with bug accents!). When we were shopping for her "big girl bed" at IKEA in Toronto, I thought that she would choose a cute pink princess-type duvet cover (okay, I admit, I wanted her to choose a cute pink princess-type duvet cover...) Abby chose bugs. It took some creativity, but we now have a buggy room! Abby painted the pictures on the wall (there is a "ladybug" painting above the "bumblebee" & "spider" paintings). 
The leaf over her bed (our version of a canopy) and the curtains also came from IKEA. Abby calls the green shag rug her "grass".
Abby decided that she wanted the dragonflies and the butterfly that she painted to go beside her bed, under her leaf.
Abby playing with the dollhouse Uncle Len built for her for last Christmas. Her cousin Joey helped furnish it for her. Today she moved it out from the wall so her dolls could get out the door to play outside. The window seat opens & houses all of Abby's stuffed friends. She calls it her "treasure chest".

Very cool! Journey is fascinated by bugs too - though I don't think she'd pick them to decorate her room. She's more sqeamish about them. She loves Dora too. And crafts and painting. I think her and Abby would get along great!
If Abby's in your room where are YOU? And where is Jude?
Your little ones are so beautiful! And I can tell even from afar that you and Jon are super parents. Oh, how I wish we could be closer.
well, I am trying to type this while holding Sol on my lap and its proving too difficult to continue. So I'll sign off and check in with you later when he's sleeping.
Love ya!
Amy
