Jacob is Drawing



Jacob loves writing utensils. He has a tub that he dumps out several times a day with pens, crayons, colored pencils. He loves to take caps on and off. He also loves to sit at the big boy desks and practice doing his homework.

New Dining Chairs

This is a huge deal for me. I bought our dining table over a year ago and have been searching for a set of 6 chairs that I like since then. (Its funny, I was 8 months along with Jacob when I made that purchase) New dining chairs were too expensive so I was determined to find a deal at a garage sale or on craigslist. The catch with that idea is that I also wanted them to be in perfect shape, well made and last for the kids whole life. Months of searching turned into a year. (how sad is that)

Then "nesting" settled in. I am 7 months along and I am in the mode where I look around the house and think: "Can I tolerate that bugging me for the next 6 months?" If I can't that means I have to fix it now. So this was it. I got on craigslist everyday for a week determined to find something around $20 a chair and I found it!!! These came in a set of 6 with two captain chairs.

Happy Mommy.
