With our tax refund finally in the bank we decided to upgrade a couple of much needed items around our house. The first was our couch. Springs were starting to break, the cushions were losing their cush, and the stuffing on the sides was wearing thin and Robert didn't like running into plywood while doing tricks on the couch! So I searched online at a bunch of stores but the couch I liked best was at Slumberland so off we went and it arrived today! It works great at dividing our living space from the kids toy/play area and is big enough for all of us to get quite cozy on the couch together!
The second item was our dishwasher. That arrived a week ago and I was amazed to learn that you don't need to wash your dishes before putting them in the dishwasher and that it is possible to have a conversation or watch tv while the dishwasher was running. So even though our refund didn't go to something as exciting as going on a tropical trip without kids it is going to make our lives easier and thus we'll be happier parents.
The bad news for the day is that Robert broke my laptop. Even my genius, computer nerd brother couldn't fix it...well that isn't true he could but since the warranty has expired it wasn't worth fixing it. Luckily because of his passion/obsession for computers he thinks he has a laptop, or three, lying around that he can fix up and give to me. Eric was relieved by this so that he doesn't have to share his new laptop with me. So thanks to Nick's efforts we shared a delicious meal together of lasagna and the kids got to play on the new couch with him. It was a good night and I'm still getting to use Eric's laptop to do this post. :) I may or may not return it to him.
Izzy already has Nick wrapped around her fingers!
New couch and free ottoman!
New Dishwasher...that quietly cleans dishes
