..work weekend..

So last weekend we had a work weekend. I went to IKEA for the first time on Friday and purchased a kitchen table and a few other things to help get our kitchen organized. After unloading the car on Friday Hank was dissapointed that we would not be working right away. He said the cutest thing "We are going to eat dinner at a kitchen table again mom?" I realized that we hadn't done this at our house for a long time. Mostly because we just didn't have the room for a table and chairs. So after we realized that we wouldn't be working because we needed some different screws we went to the store to purchase them so we would be ready for work on Saturday morning. Hank is awesome at reading the instructions (IKEA's are usually just pictures) so he was in charge of seperating the hardware and putting the table together. I was in charge of hooking it up to the wall.


Showing off his abilities to follow instructions, and his work ethic



First Meal at the new table.



So the kitchen table is now in place, we have eaten dinner at it three nights and both of us love it. The new tradition is to: talk about your day, what was your favorite and least favorite part of your day (stole that idea from my sister). He has also used the kitchen table for homework. When the rest of the kitchen is put together I will post some pictures of how great it looks :) And to show why the space was so limited that our table hangs from the wall. It is small but it is perfect for us. There is also a bar that hangs up close to the ceiling above the table that our pots and pans hang from. Sounds like we are starting to do "normal" family stuff!
