Fires; Day Four

Other than going insane from lack of fresh air, we are still not in the real throws of the San Diego County fires. Here is what it actually looks like outside this morning...It's deceivingly beautiful and oh, so inviting, but the SDAPCD, forecasts today as "unhealthy". I am gonna have to find a way to get these kids some form of running time...may be time to hit the bookstore or better yet, IKEA!
Speaking of IKEA, I bought some fabric there recently & have used it to keep myself busy over the last few days...here are our dining rooms chairs before:
Here are three out of six, post lots of cursing to pull out old staples, fitting the corners, etc...

I love it...on a side note this was the last bit of this fabric at the store...just under two yards and it provided me enough material to re-cover all six kool-aid stained white-blah chairs.

ps...the multi-stained couch is next...displayed below along with Ry's impersonation of Al Bundy (last night):

Love those chairs, they really are amazing..and what an improvement..I look forward to bringing my kids over to spill something on them soon :) Maybe I'll got to Ikea in the morning....or maybe I'll lie around and do nothing.

I know...I was telling my sister, Jackie that I have brand new chairs for $7...hopefully all the spills (an inevitability) will land on the dark swatches of the material :)
