The nearest thing to Heaven is a child (or so it says above our toilet)

So some background on the title of this posting. The previous owners of the house were deeply in love with decals of cute sayings that you could put on your walls and some of them are really funny. I would like to mention that I am not opposed to the use of decals for decorating purposes, we will probably end up using one in the nursery and for Christmas I have often times thought of getting Chad life size decals of his favorite NBA players for the hallway. I mean, how creepy would that be to see a life size cut-out of Lebron James when you were sleepily stumbling to the bathroom in the middle of the night? But I digress... Back to the decals in our house. Here is an overview of the decals that were in our house when we moved in:

This one was in our dining room, cheesy but this one has since been removed-



Above the master bed, again cheesy but not completly unbearable-




In the kitchen, appropriate even though there is probably a 3 person maximum in our kitchen so not a whole lot of room to gather-




And the pièce de résistance, the decal above the toilet-







Yup, I said "above the toilet". Now when I think of bathrooms and the use of bathrooms in general, I do not think of this saying. I would be very curious to figure out why the previous owners placed that particular decal in that particular spot, but then again maybe we don't want to know that much. Chad and I are contemplating putting some pictures of Ty and Grace under this decal to be funny, but we are afraid that when our new Lewistown friends come to our house for the first time they will think we are serious and proceed to judge us. For the time being, the decal will remain on the wall until we make our way into the bathroom for painting and renovations because it makes us laugh. We will try to refrain from putting any pictures of the dogs up on the wall, but there are no guarantees.
