August 8th

i think.. ack days running together again for me.. so not cool ~

well wed. august 5th we had a quick toss together party for Owen.. not my *ideal* party, the one i had planned out in my head but everyone was there (with the exception of grandaddy who had to work) and we had cake and presents .. so yeah it all worked out.
of course he wouldnt open his presents .. he looked at me half crazy when i tried to get him to *tear* up the paper as if saying *uh you tell me not to tear paper and now you are encouraging me to do so* ..
however the cake he had no problem tearing into.. at first he was like *there is something on my thumb* and than he tasted it and it was all over with from there! i was pleasantly surprised that ron had a piece of birthday cake with us, he isnt much into sweets and this i think was one of the few times that he has ever eaten a piece of cake...

fast forward to today...

we have rented some furniture from rent a center ~ yes yes i know cringe cringe cringe at the thought of that, but hear me out, now although im not a huge fan of the cost once completely paid for, i will tell you that when you need something replaced and when you dont have the cash up front they are good in a pinch and well lets face it if you dont like it, cant afford it, or whatever.. you send it back and there is no questions asked..

so what brought us to this point...

my mils couch and love seat.. now mind you they are decades old.. okay maybe not decades but at least i would guess 12-14 years old maybe.. and if you didnt make sure the wood was in the right place on the love seat.. yes i said wood.. as in 3 pieces of wood under the cooshin .. well than you would fall into the gaping hole and end up stuck in it with your butt on the floor.. (honestly seriously yes that bad) the couch wasnt as bad off and i believe they are going to toss it into our storage unit for now (just incase) ~ the couch however did have this huge hole and although tossing stuffing from the couch to the floor became one of owens favorite past times.. its one that just wasnt cool ~
so ron and i opted to rent some furniture until we can find replacement stuff.. we went and picked it out.. and although when seeing it today for the first time other than in a picture from their book.. it had to have time to grow on us.. i will give it that it is comphy as all get out.. we are still on the *fence* about if we like it or not.. but in time we will see.

at least we arent on the floor.. Owens not playing toss the stuffing and no one has any more fears of being swallowed by the love seat any time in the near future!

well im being bugged to go with lil ron to bait catch so i will update this some more later...
