The Bunk Beds

A few months ago Daddy decided he wanted to make bunk beds for our girls. Phew! What a labor of love that turned out to be! It took a lot of hard work from Daddy, and Mommy had to give up the garage for a couple of months so that he could have a work shop, but the day finally arrived.

First off, let's talk about how cute the Double B is. Wicked cute. Especially since I was making him really laugh here, and that is one of my favorite activities, making the Double B laugh. Just wildly cute.

We have been saving up for quite some time to buy new beds for us and the girls, and we finally bought them on Monday (President's Day sales, baby). Woot woot! We are great believers in paying with cash, and like Dave Ramsay says, it really hurts to hand over that much money, so you really think things through. But we reached our goal... pat on the back, us! We got three very nice beds, and they scheduled the delivery for Thursday.

 Now, by this time the building of the beds had kind of stalled. He was sick of them, and I could totally empathize with that, but I was even more sick of not having a garage, ha ha! So we worked hard (I was the faithful assistant and sidekick here) and Wednesday night, they were finally finished! And they looked so beautiful. I am so proud of him! What a stud. Handy Manny himself.

We worked all day Thursday basically re-moving our house with all the purging we did in the kids rooms (since KJ was inheriting our basically new bed and Benson was -- sniff -- finally moving into a big boy bed). It was a pretty much exhausting couple of days! But the beautiful reward was in this moment -- when Daddy got to have the girls close their eyes and he led them into their room for the big reveal:

 They are in love and we're pretty pleased, too. 

Everyone slept very nicely on their brand new mattresses. The end.
