Things That Do My Soul Some Good - Part 1

Getting to be with these little Monkeys for the weekend.

And getting ready in the morning with this one - what a treat!

Sorry about the toothbrush Nate, but it worked like a charm.

PHASE 4

The carpet is in! The blinds are up! The light fixture is back!

The door is back on...

Ugly closet doors were re-installed. I have a fun idea to disguise the mirror.P.S. Tonight we pick up the bed from storage! (aka mom and dad's house).

PHASE 3

Despite the overwhelming response for turquoise, Mister painted the room orange and I love it!

(We are saving the turquoise for my office upstairs)

PHASE 2

Now for a color scheme.....

What do you think? Turquoise & Red or Orange & Brown?

P.S. Of course you are all welcome to stay in the newly redesigned guest bedroom - even in-laws!

PHASE 1

This is phase one of our Guest Bedroom redesign.

It was previously occupied by one of five boys that lived in the house that we purchased recently. Needless to say - IT WAS GROSS! I will spare you the gory details and not post a true "before picture". So technically this is phase 1.2. We ripped out the old carpet and Mister covered the room floor-to-ceiling with KILS.

For the Kiddies

When there is a little Murray (Mister says he wants it spelled like Bill Murray, but it really is after the character in A Thousand Clowns), or perhaps a teenage Murray, we will put this above our door instead of the way over-used, traditional and kinda lame "Return With Honor".

Without Aunt L

This is what happens when Aunt L doesn't come to your Christmas morning. She had previously kept us all in check, but without her the wrapping, ribbons, etc. get out of control.

This is the pathway from the front door into the heart of the home. Not walkable, but just how we like it. Means we had a good Christmas.

L, just in case you are wondering....It was K all along.

L was with us in spirit though, she sent an A-mazing quilt for the culprit (see above). A Route 66 theme with blocks from each state of the route. Quilted with the Route 66 logo in each block, too.

My Favorite Outbound Christmas Gifts...

A superhero story where S is the superhero. E got one too - he helps batman stop catwoman from robbing the toystore.

J was so perplexed, he asked "Did you tell the author my name and he put it in the book?" Yes, I told the "author" your name and he printed in your book using his HP inkjet. I love that the printing press (aka process) has been around for so long, but is still so magical.
A Ballerina Princess story for a girl who can't decide which is better.

And a chew toy for S. The love of books starts early for the H kids.

And an extra sweet of my extra sweet....
