So, I already updated about Friday night, but Toni wanted me to add her cute picture she took of Jimmy. Anyone ever see 'Dazed and Confused'? This picture reminds me of the big dork riding in the back seat of the car and says "I wanna dance!" Anyway, lots of people probably haven't seen the movie, so you probably have no clue what I'm talking about. But, you should check it out...I think its pretty funny. Jim thinks its dumb.
So, Saturday night, we decided to get a sitter and go out to Fast Eddies. Alicia and Jimmy made a mess on the floor :) It just kicked our butt into gear though b/c we needed to clean our carpets anyway.
So, Jim went and rented a carpet cleaner and did the carpets today. Then he started doing the furniture too, b/c there is so much spit up. But, he thought it would be easier just to put it in the washer. Just for the record, I told him this was HIS project b/c I was afraid after taking all of the stuffing out of the big pillows, it wouldn't get shaped right again. Well, I haven't found out about that part yet, but I got the cases out of the washer and they are torn apart and unraveled. So, I ran to Target and got a slipcover...hopefully it works. We still have to stuff it all back in when the cases dry. I didn't want to chance putting them in the dryer to have them shrink too! We don't want to get new furniture until maybe next year when the babies stop spitting up so much. So, I'm looking at it like the glass is half full and I get to redecorate the living room a little bit :)
Oh, and instead of taking the stuffing out of both cushions for the couch, he did one couch pillow and then the chair pillow, so I have to buy two slipcovers. Anyone remember when Jim wrecked the jet ski? Always making the expensive mistakes! He's lucky I love him so much :) haha!
But, while at Fast Eddies, we had a lot of fun! Here's a few pics.

OMG too funny! with the couch, i know you have to be secretly pissed haah! Damn, were hot! & I luv that pic of jimmy he looks so excited about his MILK!
Man, I really wanted to go to Fast Eddies with you guys. It looks like you had a great time. I need a night out like that but oh well. We went and played putt putt instead with Graham (and the little stinker beat Nathan and I!)
I can not believe the couch pictures. I'd be freaking out! :)

We seem to have "expensive" projects around our house too. Darn it for those light colored carpets!
You look awesome...congrats on the time away!
The couch mistake does have Jim's name written all over it. You didn't even have to write it was his idea. Jim you crack me up. Fast Eddies looked like a lot of fun. I can't wait to go out again and have a beer. How are we ever going to get a baby sitter that will watch all 6 kids.
Chrissy! How funny! Hey, before summer is over, I hope you will be able to make it out to Elena's birthday party. It would be good to see you. However, I will be in Florissant on Tuesday night to watch Will swim in finals--I would like to see you too and drop off Ann's present too--all in one day! I will blog Ann...
quadsquadToo funny about the couch! I might have to try that one to get new furniture =) Seriously though, once the spitting up is over, there is always snot getting smeared all over. Probably don't notice much with just Alli but just wait this winter when you get 3x's the snot and can't get them wiped fast enough and they roll over the furniture smearing along the way. Fun times! That's why when I got a 30% Kohls coupon and steam cleaning vacuums were on sale, it became the best $150 spent. We use it every other week on carpets and once a month on couches.
OMG!!! LOL LOL LOL!!! The couch pictures are great - you seem so calm about it Chrissy - I'd be flipping the F out!! Fast Eddies looks fun like always =) What are you thinking Jim - Dazed & Confused is great! Or atleast I thought it was in High School.....
Hilarious Post! The babies are beautiful!
I washed my couch covers and they turned out fine. I feel bad cause I told him it would probably work. I figured anything would look better than they did (in my case), and if not, then I would have to get rid of the couch anyway. Babies are beautiful as ever. I was so glad to see them last week and am looking forward to coming in again tomorrow night.
Love Jackie
