new furniture *sigh*

I want to share a story from way back when Mapboy was a baby

what I sight we must have been Dad and mom both fat sitting on what we through was a pretty cool futon.

we heard a crack and were both on our backsides laughing up a storm

it took us weeks to decide what couch to buy
we sat in ever couch in ever furniture store
we wanted one that would be comfortable for 2 hours since that is how long a movie is
we wanted one where we could sit comfortable, and a place for MB to sit when he got older

we ended up buying a recliner sofa, with the pull down table Perfect for us, a place to put our cups and the table flips up to make room for the boy when he got older.

little did we know...out family was going to grow

we were able to squeeze 2 kids onto the couch with us, but not all three, someone always has to sit on the floor KWIM?

plus we have holes, and broken springs

it has been WAY past time to get a new one

SO tomorrow Ikea will deliver our two new love seats :)

and we will have enough space for the whole family to sit at once :)

I'm very happy

but I will miss the old couch

how many pictures do we have of the kids sitting on it wiht it's green background?

how many movies we watched? how many naps? how many times we had to lift it up to look for a lost remote? how many sick kids sleeping there? how many episodes of "House" have I fallen asleep watching on that couch? LOL

I will miss the ugly shade of green that looked so nice when it was new, but hasn't looked that great since the time we rented a steamer to clean up so vomit off the couch ROFL
the rough texture that seemed so great when we bought it, but lately feels like sandpaper

since it developed a hole in it I always have to say "don't put you finger in it!"
how many times have I said "the couch is not a trampoline" you know I will still be saying that...maybe we could have saved money if we got one couch and one trampoline and then the kids could jump while the grown ups sat?

ROFL

in truth the new love seats, are not the style of my dreams, but they were afordable, and they will give us something we have nto had EVER :)


*HAPPY SIGH*
