The first matter of importance is that we got bunkbeds! This is pretty exciting news at our house. I've been looking at bunkbeds ever since Becky got them for her house (I don't know how long ago that was, but I know it has been at least 2 years, probably longer). I came home from a meeting at the school, and there was this wonderful surprise awaiting me.
The girls were so excited -- Rachel especially since she has been sleeping on the floor for the past 2 years. This was by choice because she didn't like sharing the queen bed with Hallie. Anyway, we all helped put the beds together, and then we went to the store so the girls could choose their own bedding.
After about 10 minutes of deliberation, the girls both decided on their favorites, and from that point on Rachel couldn't stop talking about how tired she was and how nice it was going to feel to sleep in her new, comfy bed.

The bedding on the left is Hallie's -- so obviously the right picture is of Rachel's.
We stayed home from church on Sunday because we all have a bad cough. Since we weren't stay in bed sick, Jon had the kids make us a list of things we could do to fill the day. He called it our "Sunday Sick List". A few items were to build a ship and a fort. Jon decided to combine the 2 activities and built a ship that had a secret fort entrance from the deck. The kids loved it, and they probably played ship/fort for a few hours. Pretty awesome!
Brian and I are loving your Sunday sick list day. Brian said "Jon's a pretty fun dad hey?" And I would say you're a pretty fun/brave mom for letting your girls pick out their own bed spreads. I don't know if I would ever do that.
ReplyDeleteWe also think it's os cute that Rachel kept telling you how tired she was and how excited she was for her new bed. So much fun.
I've been excited to see this post! Bunk beds hooray! And yes, daring to let your girls pick out their own! I would probably let Brian choose between two different equally cute throw pillows, but that's it. They did pretty well. I especially like Hallie's choice. Hope that they are so thrilled with the beds that they sleep in a little longer than usual in the mornings.
ReplyDeletelove you guys.
