Those Diego cupcakes are COOL! :)
Happy Belated Bday, Simon - and your room is super-awesome too. The planet mobile is awesome, and wow - the Star Wars model is amazing!

Happy Birthday Simon! Looks like you all had a fabulous celebration! I was noticing your cupcake toppers: Diego! Was wondering where you found those. I am planning a birthday adventure in the next few weeks too!

That is such a great room. Glad that Simon had a fun birthday. Good luck with the ship!

I love his room and I love the tall candles. I'm going to have to search some out for my boys' birthdays next week.

So glad Simon had a great birthday... I saw the slideshow of Simon's room. I had a question about the two shelves with the cars. Can you tell me where you purchased those. My son has an extensive car collection and that would be a great display for them. THanks...

What a wonderful room for a wonderful little boy! Happy birthday Simon!

Your photos are WONDERFUL. I especially love Simon hiding behind his 7 little fingers. : ) Too precious!
P.S. Good luck with the Lego festivities this afternoon. : )

Happy 7, Simon!
Glad you all had a fun time celebrating.
I totally love your room.

Ady - found those white shelves randomly at a local second hand store :).

Happy belated birthday to your little Simon. We got the star wars lego ship for Christmas from Santa (well, technically our five year old got it! Ha!) and it was great fun putting together.

Love Simon's room. It's calm and boy and happy all at once!

Simon's room is just boy heaven...he must really love it! I absolutely LOVE the planet mobile, can you tell where you found that?

Good luck with the Star Wars Lego Ship. My son just turned 6 and got one that had 232 pieces. That thing took me over two hours to put together and constant questions of "Is it done yet?" and "Mom, YOU CAN'T TAKE A BREAK!" when I was so crazy as to try to get up and go to the bathroom. In the end, it was worth it. I will be thinking of you today as I am ignoring the other lego contraption waiting to be put toghether.

Happy Belated birthday Simon!! Love the choc. cake and cupcakes!! You can never have enough choc. cake!!!! I absolutely love Simons room. I need to know where you got that planet mobile... my son would love it!!!! The nesting is working out for ya Ali!!! LOL

Question for you: After Christmas and Simon's birthday, how do you manage to re-organize his toy situation? My kids got so much for Christmas that I don't know what to do with it. They very much need the toys to be in separate containers so that they can take one out, play with it, and clean up easily. For this reason, I try to stick to the same sorts of toys when buying them presents (i.e. more Thomas trains for my son or more kitchen play items for my daughter). How do you streamline and keep his things so organized?

Happy be-lated birthday Simon! What a cool mom you are Ali, love the cake and photos.

Hey guys - the planet mobile is an older one from Pottery Barn Kids. I found this one on ebay a couple years back.

Nicole - I am definitely a container fan as well (you can see that in the baskets around the room). Before the holidays I went through and moved out a bunch of toys that he had outgrown. Some of them are stored away for the baby and others were donated to Goodwill. We are also in buy less mode - less at the holidays, less for birthdays, etc. I do go through his room often to remove things he has lost interest in or are just "junk" and try not to bring more of that in the space :). It is an ongoing thing.

Happy be-lated birthday, Simon!

I love it, but can't find info about the planets and lights, can you provide? My son would love that!

I LOVE it when 2 blogs collide!!! I spotted your room on OhDeeDoh yesterday but didn't make the connection! I am the k8ty that asked about the planet mobile. Thanks for answering, I actually went onto ebay and snatched one up for my son's room too!!! Great room! Thanks for sharing.
