Entertainment Center

We have been trying to decide for a few months what to do about our TV stand. We like it, but we need more storage in the family room, and the way we have things set up looks pretty bare. We like our couch (that was given to us) but it is pretty deep, so there's not a lot of ways we can arrange things without feeling like the couch is taking up the whole room. So we have been looking around some, trying to decide what we should do, without spending too much. We went to IKEA the other night and picked up a new system. We like how it looks. And we have promised to post pictures up, so here you go!!

The old tv stand (don't mind the mess--we were starting to put the new one together!)

All finished putting it together!

We picked these handles out at Lowes, and I love the way they look on here!! Now we just have to decide how to decorate it and make it look good!! (More color!)

What do you think?

Getting an early start...

Liam found the "Chronicles of Narnia" set on the bookshelf and carried it around for a few days (along with "Matilda"). Nathan started telling him about "The Magician's Nephew" (first book in the series). And Liam kept asking for "Diggory" and always wanted to know what Diggory was up to.


He would pick up the book (he knew which one it was) and would start "reading", telling us what Diggory wanted and what he was doing. (I love his imagination!!)

The "Sixth" Challenge

I am SOOOO bad at doing things like this, but I was tagged by Nathan's cousin, Laura, and saw what picture came up, and couldn't resist.

1. Go to the photo folder in your computer

2. Go to the 6th folder of photos.

3. Go to the sixth picture.

4. Put the picture on your blog and description of it.

5. Invite six friends to join the challenge.



This is a classic picture of Brooklyn. She was always into everything faster than I could keep up! (I would be cleaning up one mess while she was making another!) She was such a busy girl (we called her "spicy"!) I can't even remember what this was (conditioner? some thick lotion?) What fun memories!!


I'm not sure if 6 people even read our blog! But I will tag:

Shelly
Megan
Jackie
