Eh Hem!

We were eating dinner and Karly was being very dramatic about not liking her pasta.....she was acting like it was making her sick and she was trying to tell us about it, but she had yuckies in her throat so it sounded funny.  All the girls started quoting from The Princess Bride...."The Pit of Despair....don't even think about....eh hem....don't even think about trying to escape..."  Every time someone has to clear their throat that line seems to come up :)

So, after Karly had cleared her throat she thought it was her turn to say the line...but she messed up the words little bit and said, "Welcome to the Pit of Day Spa!" 

 (OH PLEASE, can I go there?...haha! LOVE IT!)

 HI MOM!  I thought you might like to see our new desk while it is still clean :)

 This was delivered yesterday with the cabinets for the kitchen....today our basement countertop was delivered and we are still working on painting the "made in Indy" shelves...but, we are SO CLOSE to being done with those....maybe tonight, if we can muster up a little more energy.

You can kind-of see the fridge surround, but that empty space in the bottom left is going to be a place for Kooper's crate....hopefully he will adjust to his new room.....he will be able to see out the windows in the kitchen....so I am not sure yet if that is a bad thing or a good thing....time will tell....well, Koop will tell us in his own way. :)

I painted some more at the Parma church today....got the second classroom accent wall finished :)

I was just going to do the sunbeams and then I liked the hanging stars so much from the first room....I wanted something hanging in this room too...I know, weird... and probably unnecessary, but I got a BRIGHT IDEA last night that I could add some hanging light bulbs in front of the sunbeams.  Light bulbs wouldn't be too hard to draw, right?

I had a little girl that was hangin' out with her dad at the church help me decide if I should just do one hanging light bulb or a few and she thought more was better :)  SO, I added three....but only one is shining brightly.  THAT WAS FUN!

It's been a busy day....I am kind-of liking the whole idea of the Day Spa....but, maybe not in 

the Pit of Despair :)

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace;

Where there is hatred, let me sow love;

Where there is injury, pardon;

Where there is discord, harmony;

Where there is error, truth;

Where there is doubt, faith;

Where there is despair, hope;

Where there is darkness, light;

And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, Grant that I may not so much seek

To be consoled as to console;

To be understood as to understand;

To be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;

And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
