Lazy Boy..... Person

My Mom and three youngest brothers came up for my baby shower a few weeks ago (my baby shower was on Sat. March 20th). The friday before was our "errand" day, we were going out to buy a sewing machine and a lazy boy chair. That morning we were telling the boys the plan/schedule and when we got to the lazy boy chair Kaden commented "Oh I am so offended". That brought the other boys to actually listen (because lets face it, we know they were not really paying attention). Then the comments became "Why does everyone assume that just because we are boys we are lazy" and "As boys we are not lazy, we do PLENTY of active stuff" and so on and so on. And for the rest of the trip, and probably still now, they refused to call it a lazy "boy" chair and instead renamed it a lazy "person" chair. =>
Just FYI, the shopping day was a HUGE success!! Not only did I get a great sewing machine, I got the comfiest lazy "person" chair in the WORLD! Just look at it, how can you not just long to sit in it? It even rocks and reclines! Oh, I might be in love.... and I definately know Jared is. HE is a big fan of this chair! Thanks again Mom! (and baby shower pictures will be up as soon as I get them. I forgot to take pics so I have to get them from my Aunt that took some =>)

GiAnT Bean Bag!!

When we arrived at our apartment here, there was no furniture, and we left ours in storage. There had been a miscommunication between many people. => We could rent furniture for about $900 for four months, but we decided to to things our way => We didnt want to purchase things that we didnt need or already had, so we improvised. We bought a nice blow up mattress, a card table with two folding chairs, and our latest addition, joining our apartment yesterday is a giant bean bag! We bought it from http://www.monstersak.com/ and we love it so far! I ordered it on Monday, and we got it on Wednesday! With free shipping! It was amazing!! It was a process to get ready tho, and we still dont have it completely fluffed.
Since I was working all morning and afternoon the FedEx guys dropped the 95 lbs bean bag at the apartment office. I went there to get it and realized, I could not carry a huge 95 lbs bean bag back to my apartment by myself. The Apartment managers husband was there and was nice enough to stick it in the back of his SUV & drive it in front of my building.
But then it did have to be carried into the building, & up the stairs. =>
They were such strong lifters!!! => These are two of the wives that are here, Janae and Danae. We all hang out when our husbands are off working 15 hour days.
It didnt come in a box, it came in a blue sac, and that thing was the hardest thing to get off, EVER! It really took us like 45 minutes to get the dumb thing off of the bean bag!
We finally triumphed!! But the bean bag was succtioned so hard, it felt like a rock, so began the fluffing.....
So we began "fluffing"... aka doing tricks onto the bean bag => This is Janae's kung fo-ing.
Danae, and her..... i dont really know what this is, kindof like a "oh my goodness im flying" =>
And best of all..... my superman!!! I would totally reccomend this company and these bean bags to anyone who wants to buy one. I have researched and tested so many different kinds I cant even count. And this company was by far the cheapest (about as much or even less than what people were selling used ones for on craigslist) and the best high quality product out there. Our is still in the fluffing mode, there are still the vaccummed packed lumps in there. So I cant wait to have it all smoothed out and fluffed up!!! Big 8 foot bean bags are the best!!! =>
