Out with the old...



and in with the new...




I loved my French country chairs and still do...BUT I did not love their "crumb attracting" wicker seats! I tried my best to shake those crumbs out.... vacuum them daily, and yes I even tried toothpicks to get those stubborn little ones that just wouldn't budge. Joseph has now decided he prefers feeding himself entirely which pretty much means the majority of his food ends up on or in his chair. I just couldn't handle the crumb build up in these chairs. It was time to move on... to an all wood chair...good-bye wicker, hello easy to clean ladder backs. Change is difficult for me....so getting used to the darker color and the height of these chairs may take a bit of time...but overall I am happy and thrilled with their easy clean up. The arm chairs are not due to arrive till February... it will be a Valentine's surprise for me... I guess! As will the minor kitchen remodel if I survive the insanity of removing everything from my cabinets. Still not quite sure how I will survive the no baking during that time...maybe I can borrow someone else's kitchen?????

And because chairs don't make for the best pics... here's a few of my little guy before his second semester of kindermusik...but this time it is with Miss Trilla and at a more "child-appropriate" time:)
