Keeping my promise to give Fitzand’s bedroom a makeover … I had a little discussion with him and we decided on a Power Rangers themed room since he’s a big fan of those strange heroes in colorful tight clothings who can create explosions behind them just by posing.<\/p>\n

What I didn’t realise … having to remove the hundreds of stickers on all 3 walls …\u00a0was a nightmare! That wasn’t actually the biggest (and painful) part. There were a lot of double sided tapes that seemed to be of industrial strength left behind after I removed some of those posters and stuffs. It took us more than 3 hours just to remove all the tapes!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Little boss told me he won’t wanna stick stickers on the wall anymore (after helping me with the removal). LOL.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fitzand had big fun (but was super tired) helping with the sticker removal task.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The angry painters fooling around.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Finally it was time to start painting. Fitzand did most of the first coat of painting. \ud83d\ude00<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Of course I didn’t let him mess with the edges … otherwise I’ll have tons of cleaning and touch up work to do.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He was super serious in getting work done.<\/em><\/p>\n

Once the tangerine colored wall was done … we moved on to the more exciting one … the Power Rangers wall! We wanted to have all the 5\u00a0colors from the Power Rangers on it and so I divided the wall into 5 sections. My fuzzy eyeballs played tricks on me (again) and when all was done … I realised I added an inch to the lower part of the pink section. Luckily there were supposed to be some dividing stripes in between the colors!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fitzand stared at me for a little while when I took out the short ladder. He asked if he could use it. After explaining to him the ‘safety rules’ … he was delighted I let him go up the ladder to reach the top of the wall.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Bet this is one unforgettable experience for the little one. He was super tired that evening and he fell asleep without having to ask me ‘Daddy … why must sleep so early?’.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Since I was going to paint the upper part with some darker color … I let Fitzand ‘touch up’ the edges.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Finally …. phase 1 of the project is completed!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Added dark grey to the top and sides to give it a bit of ermm … 3D look. Those stripes between the colors are actually silver tapes. It will be too much of a torture for this old man to carefully stick masking tapes and paint the stripes.<\/p>\n

My arms and legs were aching big time by midnight. Fitzand went to bed and I gulped more coffee and cleaned up the mess. There were paint all over the floor!<\/p>\n

Sunday morning … it was time to take it easy and have some more relaxing fun. We decided to check out Nook … a D.I.Y pancake place located at Lorong Kilat. I read about it recently and thought it will be a great place to relax and let Fitzand have some fun.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As expected … Fitzand had big fun there. We went for the original and banana (yellow) pancakes but somehow the yellow didn’t seem too yellow to me. Wait … maybe I’ve been messing too much with paint the day before!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

First attempt by little boss … teddy bear pancake!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Next … he told me … a ‘ghost pancake’. Hahahaha! Pacman!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My first attempt … ermm … Fitzand!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Since I made a ‘Fitzand pancake’ … the little one decided to make a ‘daddy pancake’. Ermm … do I look like that???!!!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He made a beer mug pancake for me!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Since we are making a Power Ranger room … I made him a Power Ranger pancake!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Slices of peaches and banana to go with the pancakes!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My other attempt at making a ‘Fitzand pancake’. Looks similar?<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

No prizes for guessing who tried drawing a Diana camera. \ud83d\ude1b<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fitzand drawing his favourite slug characters from the movie Flushed Away.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Adding musical notes because he said that the slugs are always singing in the movie. The fatter slug … was drawn by the fat daddy.<\/em><\/p>\n

That wraps up a wonderful weekend. I’ll post more photos of the Power Ranger room next weekend if there is any progress. I’m still waiting for a Power Ranger clock, some Power Ranger decals and a Power Ranger bedsheet etc to arrive in the mail.<\/p>\n
