Elvis for Breakfast

This morning, before heading to the gym, I grabbed a new to me snack. I toasted one slice of Whole Wheat Bread, slathered 1 TB of Peanut Butter on it (yes, I measured out the Tablespoon) and put half of a banana (sliced) on top. I was pleasantly surprised at how good this was. I've had peanut butter and banana before, but on toast was new. This is a snack I plan to repeat!

Rumor has it Elvis loved peanut butter and banana. 

Rumor has it Elvis also loved fried pickles. 



Elvis has good taste {buds}.

The Middle of the Project

The Bedroom Makeover is still happening. We started out by peeling the blue paint off the walls, and then there was a lot of work, and now we have a room that's green. There was much sheet rocking, sanding, mudding, taping, and rejoicing.

Our Dads have worked so hard to help us get things ready. We started painting last Saturday, and put on the second coat Monday (we know what Labor Day means!). We picked out molding yesterday, and are going to get started on that tomorrow. After a Young Men/Elders Quorum service project.

Thanks to all the "Renovation Realities" episodes we've watched on the DIY Network recently, we learned that we can learn how to install crown molding from the DIY Network website. In 10.5 minutes, I have been educated on crown molding installation.

Here is the best picture I could get of "the green room". 


Don't worry. The window isn't crooked. I just don't have picture taking skillz. I have nunchuck skillz, and liger drawing skillz, but no picture taking skillz.

Happy Weekend!
