Well this weekend we finally finished Benjamin's birthday present- we picked up the mattresses and assembled the boys' "bonk beds." This was toward the end of a 50+ hour babysitting service we were doing for some of our friends. I guess Paul and I need to plan something big now, since they insisted they want to repay us with babysitting. So we had six kids, ages eight and under...and now we don't, and it's nice. :) It was a lot of mess and chaos and noise, but I think the kids all had fun.
Would you believe that rolled up thing on the floor is actually a twin mattress? These are cool. We took the tape off, and they expanded into really nice, plush mattresses with a support underneath that doesn't require a boxspring. Perfect for the bunk beds. Walmart wins!
The new set-up, complete with Benjamin's and Peter's true loves, Star Wars and Batman.
And of course they are in heaven. This is where I found them this morning, playing contentedly together. I think it was about time my lanky five year old graduated from his tiny toddler bed, don't you?
Yay! That's exciting! My girls have loved their bonk beds, and have a few bonks to prove it. Tell them they're not allowed to break any collar bones.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun climbing toy, too! Tell them to be safe!
ReplyDeleteWe had to take the ladder away because Ellie kept climbing up to the top :S But it's still fun for the girls, and we haven't had too any injuries...they just don't understand you can't jump on the bottom bunk...
