New Table

Gus and Nala "relaxing."
Turned furniture around.

New table! Extra chairs are downstairs for now :)

Well, we finally broke down and bought a new kitchen table yesterday. We have been enjoying our time eating around our coffee table, but we were getting sick of sitting on the floor...When we were younger, before kids, we always ate in the living room with our feet up. The kitchen table was used to "look pretty" or hold stuff. Now with kids, times are changing.

Here are some pictures of our new set up. Not only did it take forever to put the table and chairs together, we needed to rearrange our entire "great room" area. (I say "great room" only as a term for living/dining area...this room is not great in size :) This involved moving the TV from one side to the other, turning the furniture, and figuring out where to put all the "kid stuff." Still not sure about the "kid stuff," but so far so good. Also, now Sean is unable to sneak up behind us! Bonus!

I should also note that we didn't spend a lot on this set. We searched the Internet and found some good deals at Shopko. So, we went to our local store to find the price even lower! We also needed to purchase an extra chair, since there are 5 of us now. The man helping us just gave us the additional chair! $40 value! Wow, thank you so much! Because of that, I got to get the table set I wanted, stayed under budget with little guilt.
