Daniel did our taxes a little while ago and because we are considered poverty we get a pretty good chunk of change back, so Daniel bought me a KITCHEN TABLE!!!!! Yeah! We have had a card table for 3 years that my dad bought us and I am so excited to have a REAL table. It feels weird to eat at such a big table. We got it half off at RCWilley at their President's Day Sale! (The rest of the money will go to hospital and doctor bills from having Bensen, yippy. Daniel really wants a TV.)
Today I threw a Bridal Shower for my sister, Tyne. It started off bad because last night Daniel took Parker to the Emergency Room because he was having trouble breathing. Turns out he has croup and is on steroids for it and sleeping with a humidifier. We didn't get to bed until 2:00am. Then Bensen woke me up at 5:00am to eat and I finally crawled back into bed at 6:50am. Our kids wake up at 7:00am.
Daniel was in and out of bed when they woke up trying to keep them happy with cartoons and Cherrios while we tried to sleep a little longer. Then I finally looked at the clock at 8:40am and jumped in the shower. Then we went crazy all morning trying to feed all 3 of them, and hold Paker and Bensen because they were crying, straighten up the house, prepare all the food, decorate, and get ready. The shower started at 11:00am.
My sister-in-law, Amy came at 10:30am to help with food but had to bring her almost 13 month old (and she is 8 months pregnant) because my brother was working. So while we juggled all 4 kids we raced to finish it all. Guests started to arrive and they were put to work too. When Tyne came, she was given Staucie and Parker to hold. My grandmother held Bensen. Then the chocolate fountain decided not to work...
Anyways, after all that, the party was great. The rest of the day... not so much :)

Your table looks beautiful. The kids even look so happy about it. I bet the chairs are nice and comfy soft. Enjoy it!! Sorry Parker has croup. That is not fun. We had that several weeks ago. Scary stuff.
I love the table. It is really pretty. Looks like the kids like it too. Wow, your shower story is quite a story. Just think of the laughs you'll get sharing it a year from now. Stories like that make for good memories. I heard the shower was great - so all your behind-the-scenes panic paid off!
Linds said it was a great shower. She even is telling me to make a particular chicken salad you had there because she liked it so much. I love your table!
i love the table, wow staucie is starting to look so grown up to me!
the party was great sheena! Everything turned our wonderful, thank you so much.
Your new dining room table and chairs are beautiful. I bet you are excited to have them in your home...after so long without them.
It's nice that Tyne had a wonderful bridal shower. I am so happy for her & Kyle. We like him a lot...and they make a darling couple. We mailed their wedding gift yesterday...to Livermore.

Wow! I don't know my message turned into 'TWINS.'
Another comment.....I am so sorry little Parker had the croup. Croup is very scary......but you did the right thing, Daniel...by taking him to the ER. We hope and pray that cute little guy is all better very soon.
love the table! P.S. Amy is 8 months prego??
