Big Kid Beds!!



Anyone need a crib or two or three?  They are all in great shape!

I have been researching loft beds and bunk beds for the little kids since they will be 4 in Oct!  There all lots of different makes and models and you can spend lots of money, but I was looking for something that was safe, inexpensive and will last a few years.  We window shopped at several furniture stores and our last stop was Ikea after a fellow triplet mom recommended we check out the Kura beds there.  She sent me photos on Facebook of how she set up two beds for her trio and Dave and I thought they looked cool! 
   So on Wednesday after we dropped the kids off at school, we came home and removed the back seats to have room for our purchases and drove 45 minutes to our nearest IKEA store

total spent = $800!  Yikes! 

   . 
The kids were soo excited!  We told them we would put them up on Fri and this morning they were ready to get started!

Ready to help you Dad!

We also shopped for twin mattresses and IKEA had some for a great price.  I think they will work great!  he kids enjoyed trying them out this morning!

It took Dave and I a little over an hour and a half to put the boys' bed together. We had LOTS of help!  LOL
I think it turned out awesome!  and more importantly  - the boys were very happy!  They decided that Will gets the top bunk and Logan the lower for now . Any bets how long that lasts? 

                           Dave was able to get Jess' bed together in about 30 minutes!  He was really rushing since he had to leave for work and Jess really, really did not want to sleep on the matress on the floor!

1 very happy little girl!

All in all, Dave and I got everything together and the beds made in record time!  The kids took a little longer to go down for nap, but I know it is just because they were soo excited! 

I miss my  babies!  *sigh*
