Now normally I would be talking about my kids and what great siblings they are to each other - for the most part. But I'm actually talking about my own sister. She's amazing, creative and very talented - well, they both are, but this one in particular today.
A month or so ago, I painted the garage and the garage door leading to and from the house. At my sister's house, she has 'Return with Honor' and 'Out of the dreariness, into the cheeriness, come we in weariness, HOME'. I wanted something like this, but since my kids can't read (only Lea), words would be no use. What could I put there that would have meaning and they could still understand??
After searching several vinyl lettering blogs, I found a quote I liked and decided that CTR would be a perfect symbol for my kids to understand - they see it every week in church and more with the rings. Although Grandpa's says 'VDR' (not DVR misspelled, but VDR for CTR in Norwegian)......
I got this in the mail last week and put it up right away!
Lucas walked passed and said 'Why does the door say 'Choose the Right?' That is so cool!" (silent victory - yes! and props to my sister)
This is what I see every time I drive into my garage. It's AWESOME! I love it! Can't really see the color, but it's the same as the CTR sign. The sun was setting and blazing through our garage windows and washed out any color in the garage. Plus my kids kept trying to open/close the door - had to be quick. :)

That is really super cool. Such a great idea, especially for meaning to the little ones.
I LOVE IT!!!
