Family of Five and a Patio Set for Four
I'm finally fairly confident that winter has died for this year. Not that we won't still have some chilly days, but I think we're done with any snow or very cold days. So we're solidly into spring, and we're even officially in the season, though that's a lot less relevant to me. But the days are really nice right now, often a little chilly in the morning, but usually pretty great during the day. So we're trying to take better advantage of that this year than we did last year. Sunday lunches are a good opportunity for this. However, it's becoming more and more of a problem that we only have four chairs for this set. One option is to have the girls sit in the same chair, but that won't last for long. Even though it was pretty cheap, we actually really like this patio set, because the chairs recline/bounce and are reasonably comfortable, but it can be outside all year round. We could try to replace it with a bigger set that seats six, but so many of those require cushions and things to be brought inside when it's raining or snowing (or probably just stored inside and brought outside when needed), and that's kind of a pain. Maybe we can find a single chair to add to our set, but it probably won't match. So we're not sure how we'll solve that problem yet, but for now, a lot of times we'll just let the kids eat outside and Meghan and I will stay inside. For dinners we'll keep putting both girls in the same chair for now, as that still works at the moment.
