Bunk Beds Here We Come!

With the baby a month away, we decided it was time to move Claire and Owen into the same room. Chad's parents had some bunk beds stored from when they had kids at home, so they were nice enough to let us borrow them. We had to make a few modifications, like putting a railing up on the top bunk so Claire wouldn't fall out, but they have worked out great!!! Owen was very mad the first night that he couldn't sleep on the top, but they are working through it. Claire tells everyone about their new bed and Owen tells everyone that the baby is going to sleep in his old room. I am so grateful that they are so willing to accomodate this baby. Claire also started telling everyone at church that she is thankful for her new baby sister. I guess we will have to see what happens! So for now, Owen is sleeping in a purple room (which Chad asked me if I was going to boy it up - no way!) What is the point. He has a perfectly good boy room down the hall. Depending on the baby, one of them will share eventually, so I'm not painting anything right now!

Funny story - We went to the DI to get the kids their matresses for their new bad - they sell new matresses for cheap, so we figured why not. Owen found this toys which is a jackhammer and instantly decided that he could fix anything. He helped Chad with each bar, but would just use his jackhammer after Chad used the drill. He thought he was being a very big helper!
Let's just say that it is going to take them awhile before they can go straight to bed. We put them in bed and they laugh and throw stuff at each other, and have a great time. It is definetly testing my patience at 8:00 each night!
