New Bed!

Due to the generosity of some friends (thank you!) we recently acquired a new set of bedroom furniture for the girls’ room, including bunk beds.

Yesterday we set them up, and last night Veronica and Jacinta got to sleep in them. There was excitement all around.

Her first night in a bed, and she squishes herself into the corner.

I’m not sure where the random clothing items came from, but they are evidence of at least one out-of-bed excursion. We are thankful that was the extent of it. Not bad for the first night free from the confines of the crib!

Though Veronica was excited about claiming the top bunk, when it came time to climbing up a little coaxing was needed. But her initial nervousness didn’t seem to keep her from falling asleep when it was time.

And yes, that is a Halloween pillow on her bed. She also claimed that for herself back in October and I haven’t been able had the heart to take it away.

Dad checking on his girls. And admiring his handiwork.

He was tired after a long day of furniture shifting. There were lots of things that had to come together to make it work!

And as if being in the corner wasn’t enough, Jacinta then had to press her face into it.

Kids.

New Pantry!

This shelf used to be my "pantry."

That is one of the few shortcomings of this house. It has no built in pantry.

I wish I had a good picture of what this shelf looked like when it was filled with food.

Veronica's interest in the items on the lower shelves made it difficult to store anything there, so it ended up being rather top-heavy, with just a few things left at the bottom. It was pretty comical, actually.


But now. Now, I have THIS!

My parents took these out of their new house when they remodeled the kitchen, and they happen to fit perfectly on the wall where the white shelf used to be.

Paul and his Dad installed them last week.


Here's another shot from further back in the room. You can see the poor little white shelf, pushed aside out of the way. It has since been banished to the garage. I don't miss it.

I am in pantry heaven! I haven't even filled it up yet. There's just so much more space.

Thanks Mom and Dad for the cabinets. And thanks to Dave for helping to put them in.
