Burnin' Rubber

As a general rule of thumb we're not big fans of the concept of a theme for decorating the baby's room. People assume that since Steph is an artist and I have an impeccable sense of style and decor we must have come up with something truly unique and wonderful for his room. We think that we did, but there's no theme -- it just looks nice. They always ask us, "Ooh, what's your theme for Evan's room?", to which we reply, "Baby."

That's all about to change, though. We got some junk mail today (what am I saying, "junk" mail, this thing is gold!) that is going to alter the course of Evan's young life. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Burnin' Rubber:

Pretty awesome, huh?! I love the attention to detail, including the shadowy castle off in the distance. I know, you probably didn't even notice that at first, seeing as how you were so fixated on the imagery of a dragon riding a motorcycle. When you stare at the postcard longingly for hours on end you start to pay attention to and appreciate these things, though. And here's a quote from the marketing text on the back:

Fueled with dragon power

Emerging from his lair deep within the earth, the mighty dragon harnesses the power of the highway in fiendish glory, the road erupting in a firestorm.

You may not believe me, but this is not taken from Napoleon Dynamite, you can actually buy this thing! Isn't it obvious that we have to use this as Evan's theme? I'm thinking we paint the room red, blue, and black with a mural on one wall, and we include snippets of text like the quote above along the border around the top of the room. We'll also have to overhaul his toy selection and wardrobe. No more outfits with cute little puppies, or duckies, or giraffes, or monkeys. From now on Evan is all bikers, dragons, and especially biker dragons, all the time. I'm so excited. If anyone knows where we can get biker dragon clothes and toys please let us know.
