out with the old...in with the new

We finally got rid of our old couch back in October.  We got it from my grandma about 10 (?) years ago.  I can't remember now how long we had it.  Anyway, it was pretty old and nasty after goop from 4 boys.  Plus, it was broken.  The sofa bed broke, so the cushions sunk in every time we sat on it.  Plus, it was scratching up the wood floor.  We were grateful to have it, but it was time for it to go.  We set it out on the curb, and put it on the "free" stuff on Craigslist, hoping someone would come take it.  We ended up leaving it out there for a few weeks before our neighbor kindly offered to haul it to the dump.  :)   Yes, we were one of those people who just left their junk on the curb.  We actually joked that we could probably put it in our neighbor's front yard and they wouldn't even know it.  They have had all kinds of stuff in their yard (I think they're working on a big project?).  They're very nice neighbors though.


Anyway, it was funny to look out the window one day and see Nathan sitting on the couch.  He was waiting for his ride to scouts.  Maybe we should have left it there??  Ha ha!  I bet the neighborhood cats enjoyed it too...


How long do you think the new couches will last??
