Extreme Bedroom Moveover: Overstreet Edition

You can see from the pictures below that we were crazy busy this weekend. Brady and Madison have both been asking us to repaint their bedrooms ever since we finished Blake’s room. So Saturday we began by taking everything off the walls and painting. Today we put up the border and moved the furniture back. Whew! Just in time.

I have had several people ask what it means to have our papers go in front of the judge. I completely forget sometimes that not everyone lives, eats, and breaths international adoption! So there are about 3 things that can happen when the judge gets our paperwork. 1)The judge could say “thank you for dropping off the files. I will look at them when I have time.” And we wait an unknown number of days before we know anything. 2) The judge can actually look at our paperwork and say… “Hmmm I don’t like how these 3 documents are signed, or these 6 are stapled, or the dates on these 2. When they redo those documents you can resubmit them and I’ll review them again”. OR 3) she can just be in a super good mood, look at our documents, and see how eager we are to be reunited with our son and say “they can come to court on such and such date.” So essentially we have no idea what to expect, but regardless we are so thankful to be moving forward!

Here is Brady’s room before.


Here is Brady’s room with the addition of the Determined Orange paint and sports border he chose. He is a huge Illini, Bears, and MHS Bomber fan so we should be good to go with the orange for some time!



Here is Madison’s room before.


Here is Madison’s room with the Tany Pink paint and purse border. I think we were taught at one time pink and purple didn’t go together, but now it is a fashion statement!

The rooms look AWESOME!!! I remember seeing the rooms painted for the first time :). So fun to see Brady and Madison's little personalities come out in their rooms :).

Love the decor of the rooms! Did you post a pic of Blake's room? I'll have to go back and check...I bet you did.

As for the judge's decision, I'm hoping option #3 for you! It's all in the timing so hopefully he/she will be wined/dined, etc. and then find your paperwork to top off the day. How could he/she say "no, not now?"

Fingers crossed for you!
