It's a bunk bed!

The boys got their very own bunk bed!

Courtesy of Grandma and Grandpa.

Karl and I had been wanting

to start looking for used ones.

But I have been hesitant since Max (occasionally)

still takes naps and I was worried he would

give it up all together if we moved them into bunk beds.

I don't like moving my kids out

of their cribs until they're done napping,

although they can easily climb out.

Well, when I came home from my trip,

there it was.

New bunk bed all set up, new mattress covers,

new sheets, same great kids.

It's been a week and so far so good.

They go to bed just the same.

Max does (or does not) take his nap just the same.

No one has fallen out so far.

But someone has definitely jumped off a few times.

Max had a hard time waking up from his nap today.

I gave my old twin comforter to Noah

and he handed his little one down to Max.

Everyone is happy.

(No. I do not tuck my kids in.

I can see how the blanket would stay on them better

but I can't handle the whole sheet+blanket+quilt all-tucked-in thing.

Drives me nuts.

Too much work and I feel like I am in prison.

I dare say that I've converted Karl as well.

Just thought I'd let you know.)

Thank you, thank you, thank you,

Grandma and Grandpa!
