Dinnertime At the Stubers: A Makeover

We have put it off as long as we can it seems. Those girls just weren't getting a very good view of things happening around the table during our previous routine. So amongst all of the changes last weekend, we added hauling out the new highchairs for the ladies.
And, they love it. We now attempt to feed ourselves, get our boys to eat, and offer some yummy mush to the ladies during dinner. And, amazingly, the past few nights we've actually enjoyed dinnertime.
And sweet Benjamin is happy to provide the pre-dinner entertainment by blowing kisses and generally jumping around to quiet the ladies as they wait. When he's not running around having his own melt-down of sorts at least.
So now our table, purchased 10 years (10 years!) ago as a newly wed couple with the dreams of one day adding a family member or two to the mix has two seats left that adults can sit in and four filled with mucky kid seats. We like to say--"Living the Dream. We're living the dream," with perhaps a bit of irony dripping from our voices.In other news, I'm quickly running out of shots from the camera that got spiked this past weekend. Never fear, we got a new camera. And then last night, the memory card filled up at 6 photos...what? I don't have time to figure this out! Six photos?
Where did the five-million point harness go on the highchairs you ask? Are you kidding, that was one of the first things ripped out of those lovely new little seats. Unless we're in a moving vehicle, all five-point harnesses are ripped, cut, tugged, or otherwise removed from all things baby in the Stuber house, lest someone languish while we attempt to buckle and un-buckle our brood from all of their things.
