My Kitchen

We painted the kitchen last week. It was supposed to be a burgundy type color but it ended up being more of a grape juice color. I really like it. I think it's kind of different. My Husband on the other hand does not like it. But since paint is relatively expensive and it would cost more than we could afford to paint over it and start again we're stuck with it at least for the next few years. So when I was picking the fabric to make my daughters curtains with I found some cream colored fabric with grapes on it and an idea was born. I thought hey I can make curtains with grapes on them and then find some plastic grapes and vines and decorate that way and maybe people would think we did the color on purpose. So I went to the hobby store yesterday to see what I could find and I found a bunch of stuff that was all 50% off so I bought 3 pots the vines and some plastic grapes then when I came home and put it up the pots just weren't quite enough so I went to the dollar store and got the plates and the candle holders and candles and that filled it in nicely.

Rudy's New Addiction

Yesterday I bought a laser pointer for exercising Rudy and he loves it!! He is so addicted when we aren't playing with it he wanders around the house looking for that little red light. It is hilarious. Last night he ran and ran with it until he was so tired and thirsty that his tongue was hanging almost to the floor. We tried to get him to stop and take a drink but he just wanted to play. Which brought about another issue since he wasn't paying attention and didn't want to stop he peed all over my living room twice once yesterday and once today!!! (Thanks Thompson's for lending me the steam cleaner!!) So now we have to do it in short turns and make him take potty breaks!! Here is a video of him doing it. I hope you get a kick out of it like I do!! 



P.S. can you name the movie going on in the background?
