Moving on UP.

A BIG change happened this week.

Adler & Brock got bunk beds!

I was talking to a girlfriend about getting bunk beds

& had a few questions when all of a sudden as we were talking

a nice off white bunk came up on craigslist

AND

it was located 5 miles away! (AHHHH)

I have been looking for a good bunk bed for a few weeks

and there were a couple I liked

but they were too much $

and a long drive to pick-up.

So I hung up on her (sorry!) and called right away.

They were mine!

I love the feeling of getting a good deal.

I called Luke and told him we bought bunk beds

and that he needs to get them when he gets home from work!

What a fun way to spend Friday night.

But well worth it.  I couldn't wait!

Of course Brock is not even close to having a

'big boy' bed yet, but in the next year I'm sure

it will be time to move up from his crib.

In the meantime Adler is VERY happy about

the bunks.

He thinks he's sleeping under a tent everynight

and cannot wait for Brock to move into his room

because that means he gets to sleep on top

and climb that BIG ladder!

 We took pictures to remember what Adler's room looked like

before the bunks and before Brock moves in!

Because I'm sure when that happens

it will become a lot more crazy in that room!

Adler gave Brock a big hug from behind

& asked me if I could take a picture!

You know you're taking too many pictures if your kid asks

you to take them. ohhh he's goofy!

I missed the hug, but got the smiles.

p.s. Adler is wearing his 'Bob the Builder' sweater

that does not fit over his head & we're constantly taking it off & on

because he apparently gets 'SO hot'. 

He wants to wear it ALL the time.

Word to the wise...don't buy something that you prefer your child not wear

because that will be the one thing they wear all the time. AHHHH

Putting the bunks together.

These are the best quality bunk beds that we wanted to buy,

but couldn't imagine spending that much brand new

 (knowing they won't be in them forever).

And they're even the antique off-white color that I adore.

We LOVE you craigslist.

p.s. plus I just sold a bunch of stuff from that lovely site this week too!

Then Emily spent the day & night at our house

and the boys opened their Christmas gifts

(a little late).

Here's Adler trying to play the kazoo!

Try to explain how to hum to a little one.

He did catch on later that night.

It is now a toy that can only be played

in the basement!

Adler had to help Brock open his gift of course.

And last night

we all got on top of the bunk bed

& played like wild monkeys.

What a fun week!
