New Couches

We got NEW couches. FINALLY! We've really been needing to do this for a long time, but every time we went shopping for new furniture we left thinking WHY BOTHER? The kids are so rough on the furniture that it isn't worth risking them damaging anything new. Well, FINALLY we decided on a compromise: LEATHER.... DARK leather. It's the only solution for our household at the moment. Many houses in the US have the luxury of having both a family and a living room, but we have just the ONE great room with couches that get a LOT of use. We had to find something that would suit the everyday roughness of our 3 (soon to be 4) kids! I LOVE the new couches. PLUS the main couch will serve as the guest bedroom. Now that the baby will be filling the 5th bedroom upstairs, we don't have room for vistors! Our solution is the hide-a-bed in the main couch. It is SOOOOOOOOOOO comfortable! I have never seen a pull out bed so sturdy and comfortable as this one. Grandma will surely love it on her trip here for Christmas! It sure feels great to have a change in there. The only downside at the moment is the strong smell from the leather. Here are a few shots of the kids on the new couches.
