I love you Craigslist

Since I met Pete we have sat down at the table to eat our dinner every night. Since we have moved we have been without a table and it has felt really unsettled and I have missed sitting down as a family every night. Kim had kindly given us our last table but we had kind of outgrown it so we decided to look for a new one. I was a little worried about finding something we would like and could afford. So, I turned to my old friend Craigslist (not to be confused with Craiglist which deals solely in more adult matters). A week later we have a large table, an extra leaf and 8 chairs!! $150.00!! The best part is that they were drop seats so I was able to indulge in my longing to recover some chairs (Pete was a huge help thanks to his past in furniture repair). I am really happy with it. I also finished our curtains for our bedroom (don't mind the messy bed)......

One last thing to add to this weeks accomplishments. Luisa bought Olive this darling outfit. You can't tell in the picture but there is an apron front with pockets that ties around the back. Olive has refused to put it on until yesterday. So here is a picture for you Luisa. See how happy she is, she's thinking of Auntie.
