Furniture Shopping & Dinner

Yesterday Mike and I spent a productive afternoon furniture shopping in preparation for moving into the new house, thanks to Mandy and Joel babysitting the kids. After three hours of furniture shopping we both agreed it would have been completely impossible with the kids!! 

We bought a living room set which included a leather sofa, love seat , chair & ottoman as well as a coordinating area rug. (Our old living room set had been so worn that we sold it at our moving yard sale before leaving. ) We also got a guest bedroom set which included a king sized sleigh bed, box spring & mattress as well as a dresser and a nighttable. We also bought a sleeper sofa for the guestroom as well since the room is HUGE; it will easily fit the sofa and tv as a sitting/tv watching area and the king bedroom set. 

The only thing on our list for yesterday that we didn't get were bar stools for the breakfast bar but I found two at target that I liked which we will pick up at some point. We also got a good recommendation from the furniture sales guy, to pick up the rocking chairs for the front porch at Cracker Barrel, which there are tons of down here. 

After furniture shopping we came home and got changed just in time for the babysitter to show up to watch all five children while the four of us adults went to dinner. 

Today we are having a low key day which will involve laundry, a trip to the pool and getting the kids in gear to start back at summer camp tomorrow after having last week off.
