11/08/11

We got an AWESOME deal on our dining room table 7 years ago. It was a wood table that sat 10 people, came with 8 chairs, and looked great too! All for around $400 at a used furniture store.

11/01/11

I don't know if this is true for everyone, but for us, little kids = scratched DVDs.  I know, we should be better about keeping them out of their reach, and we did REALLY good on this with the first two kids. But now we have 4 kids.  And lots of scratched DVDs. So last night I had finally had enough of trying to find a DVD that actually would play all the way through, and I bought a $7.88 ...
