The Big Bed Adventure

In preparation for moving the kids into the same room to make room for the new baby, I have been researching bunk beds. I came to the conclusion that Benson being six feet above the ground with a ladder in the dark wouldn't be the most condusive to his adventuresome, non-graceful, personality.

I found what I thought was the perfect bed, but it was way too pricey for our not-quite-yet-graduated budget. So I was so excited when I found it on Craigslist! I sent Tristan and one of our good friends an hour away in a U-Haul to pick it up in more than a few pieces. They got it all unloaded and then Tristan had to go. So I decided I could put it together...by myself, without any assembly instructions. It took many hours, but I finally got it up.

Benson does the blues. (Tristan's contribution to this post)

I won't be putting the other twin bed together until we get the mattress for it in May, but it will go where the stuffed animals are currently sleeping. Here is a picture from a website, so you get the idea.
