Daryl and I went last Friday evening to pick out a new couch for our living room. Our couch has served us well - it has been very well loved and played on. It has been one of my kids' favorite toys. We bought it used so we totally let them do whatever on it - jump, climb, throw the cushions off, make forts, and the list goes on. They have had so much fun with it that I hesitated getting a new couch because I knew the rules would all have to change. But the couch was literally falling apart - ripped, torn, horrible springs, and did I mention it was really uncomfortable to sit on? Whenever we would all sit on the couch and read books, the kids would be falling into each other because everyone always sank towards the middle of the couch. It was getting a little ridiculous! So with our tax return money this year, we went couch shopping and ended up at La-Z-Boy and bought this beauty:
It is super comfortable, very tall, and very deep. Perfect for a family of tall people!! :) Daryl picked it up today and we are loving it! The kids weren't so happy when I told them we bought a new couch. Hope's first question was, "Can we jump on it?" When I told them no, Samuel said, "You should have bought a couch we could jump on!!!"
The night we bought this couch also started our one week run-in with the stomach flu . . . starting with Samuel followed by Aliyah the next day followed by myself a few days later and Hope a few days after that. Thankfully Daryl stayed healthy!
