The new couch...

The girls and I were playing in bed this morning, as we usually do when they come to wake me up, when I said, "Girls... guess what Mama did last night?"
Allison, jumping off the bed: "You made it! I can't wait to see the new couch!"
Natalie, following: "Oooh... is it blue? I'm so excited, I'm so excited!"

Of course, I then mustered up the energy to jump out of bed and follow... they were too sweet!

Natalie: "It's enormous!"

They played in it for the first part of the morning, before finding their "castle" (box) to play in!

So, as you can see, the color matches Daniel's chair! The old pillow definitely has to go. And, I am DETERMINED to learn to sew so I can make the new pillows. I think once the new pillows are on, and the new artwork is hung behind the couch, I will be loving it. I already know what I want to do! It's still nice for now, but taking a little getting used to for me.

Oh! Why did we get rid of our old beloved couch? So grandma and grandpa would have a place to sleep when they come, since Yehbie will be taking their room. Surprise, Grandma! It's a sofa bed! (And a tough one to put together by myself, but I did it!!) Luckily, I found a friend who bought our old couch and loves it as much as I did! Yeh!
