Drum roll please....

I have picked a wall color.
Yep, I sure did!
It's about time, right? I mean, we've only lived here for two weeks....
Before I make the big reveal, let me say that many of you wouldn't pick it and that's okay with me.
I did samples on every wall in the house.
And I've liked it more and more as the day went on and the light changed.
Keep in mind that the picture makes it look blue.
It's not really blue but it is a cool, grayish-whitish color.
And by cool I mean totally rad (not really).
TA-DA!
 It's pretty, right? 
Tonight we tore down wallpaper as a family.
Have you ever done that?
It's so totally satisfying.
But that's coming from someone who likes to peel sunburns and do gross stuff like that.
I'm hoping that we'll be painting in about a week.
(Trevor's hoping for like..never)
Wish him luck.

I love that color Sarah. It reminds me of Pudding Mold which is a sherwin williams color both my friends have in their house. I want to use it somewhere too. What's your color?

I don't know what the big worry is about the paint color... it looks GREAT!!! ;o) Tearing down wallpaper SUCKS, unless you have the right products; it sounds like y'all did.

I love that color too! In fact it looks very similar to the color I've picked out for downstairs. What's the name of it?? Can't wait to see it all finished!

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
