Please pass the butter....

I'm soooo excited! Why, you ask?

Today we got a new table! Now, we can have us and the food at the same table!

Jeremy found a place that sells tables for CHEAP. And they are nice tables. Nice, in my opinion. It has a leaf and everything.

Tonight at dinner, we had to get used to how much space we had at the table. It was so nice to be able to have space between the kids. Much less poking and "he wiped his food on my arm!" going on. We actually had to teach our kids how to pass the food around the table now that we're not arms length from any given point.

So the best part is, 2 days ago, Jeremy listed our old mattress and box spring on craiglist that have just been taking up space in our garage. He sold them the same day for $75. Guess how much our brand new table cost us? $75! So we basically turned junk in our garage into a brand new dining table. Yeah!!!


p.s. I'm really excited.

That's the best! How exciting. You need to take a picture of your new table and post it so we can see what it looks like.

Hooray for a new table! We still have the table we bought when we got married for $25! And let me tell you, it's the first thing on my list to replace when we get the chance!
