Yay for new furniture!

So the other day we got a check in the mail for $820 from the IRS. After the government sent me multiple letters right before we moved I finally filled the form out and to our surprise we qualified for the Earned Income Credit. I think it is hilarious that even though we didn't pay a dime in taxes we still qualify for money and that the government tried tracking us down to tell us this (they sent letters to our house and my parents). Well thank you IRS because you provided us with the extra money to get some furniture that we were waiting to purchase until we saved up the money.

So now our dining room isn't empty any more. We have now moved the table that was in the kitchen (and was too big for the kitchen) into the dining room.

This is our new kitchen table. We are going to get chairs too, but they were all sold out of them. But I love my new table, even if it just from Ikea.

Ahhh and my favorite of all is the bookshelf in the playroom. So now my kids no longer have their toys in moving boxes, we actually have storage. It is pretty empty still, I figure I need to fill the top shelves with some decorative stuff since the kids can't reach that high anyways. I am sure I will still rearrange things as we go, but it is a great improvement from where it was.

Now the next thing I have on my list is new couches. Ours are pretty sad and suffered a little damage in the move. Hopefully in the next few months we can save up for those too.
