The Girls' New Bunk Beds!

A couple hours Wednesday night, and about another hour last night, and voila! It's done!...well, the bed is put together and the new bedding is on the beds. The light fixture isn't yet changed out, the girls' things will have to be moved in, and lots of other things stored in the room have to be moved out... but the bed is done at least!

The girls are excited about their new bed. Kaylen's not all that excited about having to share a room, but she is excited for a change, and to be on the top bunk (even if her sister's lower bunk bed is larger). I think, mostly, she's worried about having her toys being accessible to her sister. But, I'm hoping it'll help her keep them a little more tidy. Her room is a mess!

Elijah is not excited that he doesn't get a new bed. And he'll soon have his own room, which I'm certain he will not be happy about. But he'll get used to it... we hope. We have a few tricks up our sleeves to try to get him excited about his room too, but it'll probably still be a bit of a tough transition for him. His bed is actually the bottom half of a bunk bed set too - the top half is currently Kaylen's bed. We're planning to move it in soon. We also have had his comforter put away for the summer, and because the girls have new bedding, we'll get that back out for him too, so it'll be like it's new for him. We might get a few things to decorate his room up too - or let him bring some of his toys upstairs as well.

For those of you who've been here to visit us before, yes, we're moving the girls into what was the guest room - because it has more space (even though the closet is a little smaller). So, the Kaylen's current room will become the guest room. But don't worry, we are planning to paint it so you don't all dream about Pepto-Bismol when you spend the night with us. I can't promise it will be done if you come visit soon, but hopefully we'll at least have the room cleaned out of Kaylen's mess though!
