Tuesday: Before and After

Here is today's Before and After situation. We have a kitchen table. It is the center of our universe. Everything from eating, bill paying, homework, snacking, present wrapping, newspaper reading and a whole lot more happens here. Thus picture #1:

(Hey, I just re-read this and by "a whole lot more", I meant craft projects, coloring, watching tv, playing cards and stuff like that! This is a G rated blog!).

Except for when I swear. But back to the pictures...



This is what happens when Mom gets in a mood and throws everything in the garbage!

Kidding! I am just kidding!

Probably.

This is what happens when we set the table for once in our lives.

Notice only 2 white bowls. We have broken all of the others. Morrie would like to pretend we are grown ups and actually buy a matching set of dishes. GASP! Who lives like that?

Last time I checked we were not having any government officials, royal family members or dignitaries over to share a meal. Our friends do not base their friendship with us based on the quality or quantity of our dishes.

Do they?

We weren't even able to keep the table like this for long. I had to ask Maria 3 times to take her homework out of my shot. Do we not have any other flat surfaces in this house???

Mommy's blogging is a priority over homework, get it together kid!
