Bunk Beds!

I'm back! It's been awhile since I last posted. We have since closed on our house, and actually moved into it this past Friday. Jeff's sister was wonderful and let us stay at their house for the last 6 weeks. The kids loved being with their cousins, and they miss them a lot. We only live 2 streets away, so there has been lots of crying when we come home and not to play with cousins. I will get more to the house eventually. I have to take those pictures off my camera, but I will get to it soon.

This past Friday night was our first night in our new house that we actually own! With the baby coming in less than 2 months, we decided to buy the kids bunk beds and get them used to sharing a room. The kids were VERY excited about the bunk beds. It took them a little over 2 hours to fall asleep the first night. They were whispering and laughing the whole time. We caught Dallin in Alyssa's bed once, but they stayed in them for the most part. Saturday night it only took 1 1/2 hours to fall asleep. We caught Alyssa with all her blankets and stuffed animals in Dallin's top bunk this time. I'm glad she didn't fall since she has fallen already from the top of the ladder. Last night took about the same amount of time.

Alyssa did take a nap yesterday in her big girl bed too. She's been in there for about the last hour and has yet to fall asleep today. I hope she still will nap :) I can't believe she is big enough for a big girl bed. Dallin was so great about adjusting to the big bed. He didn't get out of it for the first 6 months even though he knew how. Alyssa does not have that same problem, so it might be a little harder with her. I just hope they adjust before the baby comes :)

Cute! I love the bunk beds! That's exciting about your new house - does that mean you will be there for a while?

Congrats on finally getting moved in! And glad to see the kids enjoying their bunk beds. Hopefully Alyssa gets back to napping, would be nice to still get that break when the new baby comes:)
