I was busy.

Trevor had to work late tonight because of their big annual sale (early off tomorrow though, yay!) so I

wanted to surprise him by finishing something we started about a week ago:
Believe it or not that is our bedroom sans fake wood walls, nails, dust, trim and all manner of who-knows-

what. I carried all of that ugly wood paneling out to the side of the shed where it will be used for the inside 

walls of the chicken coop (reduce, reuse, recycle, everyone!). 

And our room actually feels bigger (although I wouldn't complain of the size because I love it and picked this 

room especially for us). 

So this is my inspiration for the finished product:


And I want my bed to look like it's the most comfortable bed ever made...because it will be. I live for a bed 

like what you see in magazines and at really fancy hotels...and it's not too bad as it is right now, I just need a

 lot more pillows, a wrought iron bed, different carpet, a rug, lamps...etc.

This took me 4 hours to do today so I'm pretty tired and ready to go to bed in our now non-creepy room. 

Good night.

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...
