A change is as good as a holiday

My mother and her partner decided to buy a new couch. They were trying to sell their old one but weren't getting any takers so offered to give it to us. Not that we needed it. But I was a huge fan of the couch so we took it anyway. We decided to replace the current couch in what we refer to as "the kids loungeroom". We are really lucky with this house and the reason we bought it was because it is so roomy and we have the luxury of having more than one living space. Anyway, the couch I had in this room was one that my father had brought for me about 10 years ago. Horrid colours but I've got a sentimental attachment to it. We're not sure what we're going to do with it yet, maybe use it in our "hobby room".  Being a scrapbooker I couldn't resist taking some before and after shots. Don't mind the mess - I live in a house full of boys. I dream of that day where I can have a house with matchy matchy furniture and nice fluffy rugs lol.. So.. the before shot

And.. the after shot..

And I had the camera out earlier trying to get some nice shots of this cheeky monkey. We are going through the fun and games of toilet training.. there are some hilarious shots that are obviously not appropriate for the world wide web, but will however be brought out at various celebrations throughout his life, 18th, 21st, etc etc.. hehehe..

Lots of attitude this young man of mine has.

Big boy is at his dads this weekend. I always miss him when he goes away.
