New Rug

It's a big deal when you have a baby walking and falling and crawling and playing on the floor. We spend a lot of time down on the floor and I was really tired of being cold. I was really tired of the frayed and curling corners due to all the vacuuming. I was really tired of the dingy colors and stains. 

I decided to save up for a new rug, but it was taking forever. I had saved $0 for the $300 rug I was eyeing at IKEA, so I was reluctantly planning to use my birthday money toward it. It was big, 8 x 10, to maximize playing space, and maybe keep the furniture from sliding around, and maybe keep toys from constantly going under the couch, and make less mopping area. 

Last week before we all got the GI bug the little boys and I were making a target run...maybe that's where we got the bug. There were some great clearance aisles (don't you love perfect timing?!) and I found a 7 x 10 rug on clearance for $80!!!! I just love a great bargain. 

 

I don't love it, and I don't hate it. I quickly realized that it's going to be ruined by the time we are done with it, so I'm really grateful that I 1) didn't spend $300 on it 2) don't love it. 

It's very soft and comfy. It also keeps me a *little* warmer when we sit on the floor to play. 

Have I mentioned that Lewis was spinning on it so long when we laid it out that he made himself puke? Yep. (See merry go round incident story a few posts back.)
