Spring Break became a big project - a long time ago I saw this giant Oz poster at the theater and I wanted it, so the next day I called and asked if I could have it. And they said sure "you are on the clipboard" fast forward to the week I was supposed to get it... called and she said the manager ignored the clipboard and promised it to a friend. I was so sad. Then lo and behold it was too big for them to take, if I still wanted it - it was mine. So one week ago we walked into the theater to pick it up. To say its big is an understatement. I am sure Kyle wanted me to give up. It was a full de-build project in the theater lobby, then once home (in two trips) we weren't sure it would fit.
I decided if major reorganization was going to take place I might as well paint. I had bought the paint from the habitat for humanity restore while pregnant back in the summer (little under $30 with coupon for 5 gallons!), then decided the job was above my pregnant energy level.
So we painted. And if you give a mouse a cookie... New paint meant new sofa cover:
Which I couldn't believe but I found an in-the-box cover in the as-is department. It was green. I feared I was going a little overboard in the green department, but hey let's just take this theme and run with it. So here it is: the new gameroom. With kids corner, dress clothes area and Gigantic OZ in the corner ;)
Oz has a great but very simply philosophy - that everybody had a heart, that everybody had a brain, that everybody had courage. These were the gifts that were given to people on this earth, and if you used them properly, you reached the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. And that pot of gold was a home. And a home isn't just a house or an abode..., Its people. People who love you and that you love. That's home. - Ray Bolger aka the Scarecrow
