It is done. Well, except for Emma's purple stripes, it is done. The colors are lovely and Aidan really loves his new room. I think Emma does, too, in her own 'terrible two' way. (She is really coming into that stage now...Anyone want to have a two year old for awhile??)
Jenny and I managed to continue to speak with one another, despite being siblings and hanging out together for hours on end. You know...sisters. We can handle each other for awhile, but...
Jonathan was a big help just running errands, doing dishes, holding paint brushes, hanging curtains. He was really trying to get out of the painting part, and he didn't have to do any of that, so I think he was happy. He said the rooms looked really good, so I know that he thinks we did a good job.
Our hotel room was wonderful. (Except there was no hot tub!) The rooms were spacious enough and we had a fridge and microwave. (But there was no hot tub!) The bathroom was tiny, but it was nicely done. We had free internet (if we had a computer with us) and the beds were fairly comfy. (Only there was no hot tub!) The continental breakfast was really good. They shook it up a bit, too. It was nice. Did I mention there was no hot tub?
On Saturday we stopped for lunch and headed out to Subway (I was not making anything this weekend!). We got into the Subway and there was this stinging of the eyes. Everyone kept looking at each other (the customers) and rubbing our eyes. No one said anything. Finally one of the guys said to Jonathan, "hey are your eyes stinging?" Then the big guy from behind the counter explained that they had been cutting onions in the back room. YIKES!! Needless to say, none of us put onions on our subs.
Our second stop was to the 7-Eleven. It was a million degrees outside and we were all sweating up a storm. We pull into the parking lot and park beside an 80s red corvette. Jen and I got out and looked into the nice red leather seats with those tiny holes in them. You know...the leather that looks like it has been poked with tiny pins? We made some comment about it and proceded into the store.
The guy who was the owner of the corvette was inside at the teller. We walk in and he says to Jenny, "Hey, you just hit the side of my car with your purse." Jen said, "Oh, I'm sorry!" He replies: "Are you really?" (As if she meant to hit his 80s corvette...) She said, "Yes, I am". He finishes up at the till and then leaves the store. We watch him as he exits and takes a long examination of the side of his car.
Now you have to understand that Jenny's purse is a small quilted bag that goes across the chest. It is no bigger than a large wallet, with nothing on it to do any damage. Yet, he still went outside and took a long look at the side of his precious car. I still can't believe it....
Anyway, there was not too much else that really happened. A couple of killer storms with hail and wind. Our recycling bin ended up in our neighbor's yard. There are some trees that got some extra pruning. And lots of lightning.
I will take some pictures of the rooms tomorrow and post them here for you to take a look at. I am really proud of them.
And now for something completely mindless...Manic Monday!
Would you rather go a week without bathing, but be able to change your clothes, or a week without a change of clothes, but be able to bathe?
A week without bathing. I have gone that long and it is not bad. As long as you have clean clothes, you are fine. My hair is the only thing that would really get to me. Oh well. I am going to be going for 10 days without bathing next summer at Girl Guide camp. Perhaps I should practice beforehand.
If you had to be trapped in a TV show for a month, which show would you choose?
Well, if I wanted something easy to do for the month I would choose "Friends" or "The Office". I mean, as long as you are into your social game, you could survive quite easily on those shows for a month. Plus, I really would like to meet all of the characters on those shows, so that would be good.
If I wanted something a bit more difficult to do for the month, I would choose "Fringe" because at least my brain would have to be working hard and it would be challenging. Plus you would get to meet all of those characters and I would LOVE to do that.

Since it is almost Tuesday, I will post a Tuesday Tune here, too. This is a song that Jonathan has done on worship team and Aidan has started to learn it in his new class in Promiseland. He thinks it is pretty neat that Daddy plays the same songs that he sings in Promiseland. Anyway, this song has been going through my head a lot lately, so I thought I would let it run through yours!! (Plus, I think she has a really cool voice for worship music!)

I think I could grow to like this song. We haven't sung it at our church, I don't think we've sung anything written in the past ten years.
Glad the painting experience went well and you have to Jen credit. not many sisters would help paint!
