Red Chairs

My new red chairs came today!

We have had the 15-year-old glider rocker in the family room for 15 years.

I decided it was time to update and found these cool red chairs online.

(I have a red wall in the family room, so they were perfect.

I put them together and I think they look great and are a nice update!

(The other one is on the other side of the television.)

Gnaw-ty Girl

The little girl has learned how to pull herself up in her crib recently 

which is something I am happy about.

What I am not happy about is that she loves to chew things.

Every time I go get her out of bed, she has tiny white paint pieces all over her face.

 Since I had the sander out from refinishing the table,

I decided to take care of that problem!

I even used fine sandpaper.

Wasn't that nice of me?

;)

Here's something else she did that I got to fix today.

Office Clean Up

The 9-year-old is at it again.

Gotta love that!

His birthday party is at our house tomorrow and he cleaned up the office tonight.

He even took pictures himself.

A New Table Top

We bought this table and six chairs three or four years ago.

It was used and needed to be refinished when we bought it.

It took this blog to make me do something about it.

During...

Sanded, Stained, and Sealed Twice

After...

Much better!

I've been lobbying for a new table, but now all we need is two more chairs!

Gathering Supplies

Today's something was getting ready for tomorrow's something.

It is supposed to be great weather tomorrow

so I set up shop on the deck.

See you tomorrow!

Coupon Shopping

I was cleaning out the expired coupons yesterday and found a bunch 

that I needed to use before the end of March.

I went to WalMart for a little coupon fun!

I bought 1 bottle of Olay body wash,

1 bottle of Olay facial cleanser,

4 Old Spice deodorants,

4 bottles of Olay body wash,

6 bottles of Bayer aspirin,

2 packages of Snyder's pretzels,

1 box of Kashi GoLean cereal,

and 8 Zone bars.

My total before coupons was $63.77

and after coupons it was $28.50!

Less than half price...that's my goal when using coupons!

You never know how the folks behind you in line are going to react to a huge stack of coupons.

The best part of the trip had to be the two 20-something-year-old men 

behind me who were totally impressed!

They even asked where I got all the coupons and if they make coupons for what they were buying.

Cute boys!

Another Switcheroo

It's time to move the 2-year-old boy and the 6-year-old boy into the same room.

I'm going to try this out for a day or two since one of the bedrooms is a lot lighter than the other.

I'm hoping that this helps the 2-year-old boy stay in his bed at night too.

Wishful thinking, I know!
