Morning everyone! It’s a beautiful day today here in sunny, Ontario! 
I plan on going out this afternoon with my girls to pick up a few things, and then back to do housework and dinner! Exciting huh? 
lol! So last night I stayed up WAY too late and did some shopping online.. we *REALLY* need a new dining room set.. ours is old and battered.. haha! So i’ve decided it’s time to invest in a new dining room table and chairs! I think i’ve found the perfect set for us! Since there’s 6 of us, we need a BIG set.. lol! And would be nice to have a couple extra seats for company as well! And just think.. more room for spreading out all my scrap stuff all over.. haha!! This is the set i’ve decided on… Dh says whatever makes me happy.. lol! He’s easy.. I love the ‘country’ feel to it and think the kids will love it too!
