THE GOOD NEWS:
We got some new furniture!!!!!! Who doesn't love new furniture right:) Well, first we decided that Cole was really out growing his toddler bed! I guess when his head and toes touched opposite sides of the bed at the same time, that was our first clue:) We have actually been looking for the last 6 months, but we were pretty picky about what we wanted! Cole, of course, wanted a car bed, but we were looking for something that he wouldn't out grow in 2 years:) We really loved the idea of a white bed, but all the ones we looked at were way too girly. So, last week we took a trip up to Raleigh to search their furniture stores and we found this:
It's exactly what we wanted- White, Captain's bed, and not girly looking:) The kids favorite part is playing under the bed! We've only had one pinched finger so far, and it's great storage for all his big toys! As you can see he HAD to have the Hulk sheets!!!!
AND HERE'S MY NEW TOY!!!!!!!!!
Finally we have a table that seats the whole family!!! (And guests!)
We have had our little 4 person table for years, and once Cole got old enough to sit at the table we would use our computer desk chair:) Well, again, we are picky about furniture and we have been disagreeing on tables for a long time! We haven't been able to settle on one that we both liked (and that would fit in our small dinning area). Well, at the same store we found this! I love it because of the dark brown color and that it's square and tall, and Kenny likes all those things and that it has storage underneath and a bench! It's perfect!!!!
Here's a picture of the bench! It's great, heavy enough that the kiddies can't move around on it! I had never seen a tall table with a bench before!
This picture shows the storage underneath! Just a cute little cupboard!
Here's a picture with the leaf in- it's a fold down one which was also a must because I didn't want to store it elsewhere!
THE BAD NEWS!!!!!!!
Ok- so I have to tell the sad news now. I knew it was going to happen at some point since we have a small boy, and we all know that they are very unreliable. Well, I guess I just didn't expect it to happen so soon! Two (YES, 2!) days after we brought our new table home... before we had our first "real" family dinner at the table... this is what I found...
Yes- I cried.
(Side note) It's actually not that bad- the table is dark so you can't see it very well, it's just that the flash really makes it stand out in these pictures.
