Ben's New Space Room

For those of you who have seen the movie TOY STORY you'll remember the boy in the movie (Andy) has a "cowboy room" at the beginning of the movie. Then when Buzz Lightyear arrives he changes his room to a "space room." Well...I guess you could say Ben is following the same path.
For the past 3 1/2 to 4 years Ben's room has been cowboy and Texas themed. But sometime last year he started hinting at the idea of changing it to a space room. So over the past couple of months Jenny and I have been slowly changing it over to a space theme, and this weekend we finally completed the room.
We put up some space pictures, some glow-in-the-dark stars and planets on the ceiling, and repainted the top color to a dark blue (it was originally tan.) Also, Jenny's mom was nice enough to knit Ben a new quilt which shows all the constellations and planets. I also hung up some rockets and space ships on the ceiling right over Ben's bed. He likes to think he's the little astronaut guy in the last picture.
