When I brought them home, having all 5 benches at the bar looked a little crowded. I thought about taking one away and only having 4, but then I wondered how we would decide which of the kids wouldn't have a place to sit. I realized since I have four-n-more kids, I need four-n-more benches. Five may be a bit crowded, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Four-n-More
We purchased some benches for our kitchen recently. (As a nurse, I have a hard time calling them stools, that term has a different meaning for me.) We purchased them from Four Sisters Furniture, which specializes in unfinished wood furniture. My sister-in-law helped me stain and varnish them. I was so happy the stain matched our cabinets.When I brought them home, having all 5 benches at the bar looked a little crowded.

My Book Title
The first post to my blog explains how I came up with the name "Four-n-More". It was a suggested book title.
A friend recently suggested I write a book titled "Cheaper by the Half Dozen". She told me that meant I would have to have another baby to make it an even six. I like the idea for the title, but I'm not as fond of the idea of more kids.
I might need to polish up on my syntax and grammar before embarking on the pursuit of writing a book. It's one thing to write a blog for my family and friends, but outside you, who would buy my book? I'd sell 10 copies and just isn't enough to become New York Times Best Seller so, I guess I'll stick to my blog.

Another friend refers to my offspring as the Fab Five and, as you all know, I do like prime numbers. I guess that rules out the possibility of six.

Book Repair
When Esteban was a baby, we joined the Dr. Seuss book club. At the time, it seemed like that was just part of being a parent. Both Aaron and I grew up with Dr. Seuss books. These are still some of my favorite children's books.
I was going through our books yesterday when I discovered that some of them have been ripped apart. They have survived through four of our kids with only a few marks. Now, with our fifth they are coming apart. Then I realized that several of our parent's books are taped back together so maybe it is not just Vanessa. Maybe the books have a limit and it's just part of having four-n-more.
