A Big Purchase




I received a forwarded email from my sister-in-law, Kara, which contained little snippets of wisdom from Maya Angelou. One 'quote' said a woman should own at least one good piece of furniture that has not been previously owned by a family member. I took her advie: behold the SOFA!


Now, why on earth would son #2 (JJ) son #3 (JE) and baby G be lounging on bean bag chairs or on the floor instead of this glorious new piece of furniture?


BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SIT ON IT ANY MORE!!!


See the first picture? Happy smiling children relaxing on the sofa together. This idyllic situation did not last long. Less than 24 hours later, it has already been bounced on, mauled, and generally accosted; since I am paying for the sofa, I refuse to have it abused (and the hardwood floors are going to be a wreck if they keep it up!) As you can tell, JE is not a bit happy about being on the floor. Boo hoo. Cry me a river and stop using my sofa as a trampoline!
