Musical Beds

This week we've been playing a game of musical beds. We moved Monica's old bed into Jack's room so that he would have a permanent big boy bed at home.

Then we assembled Monica's new bunk beds in her room. She chose to sleep on the top bunk of course (the bottom mattress can be added, but we're leaving room for extra toys down there right now). Monica is SO excited about her bunk beds, and Anton and I are SO excited about the fact that we were able to find them for only $100 including one mattress. We are definitely putting the Duggar family mantra of "buy used save the difference" into action!

Clothing shuffle


We spent quite a while this weekend going through all of the kids' clothes. Keri and I had fun going through everything and starting to get summer wardrobes ready for the kids. Anything that our kids had been wearing that was too small went to Tyler or into storage, and new clothes came out of storage. We are thankful that we are basically part of a clothing co-op between several familes to share children's clothes. It cuts down on costs and is a bit earth-friendlier.
The best find was this firefighter raincoat passed down from Oliver. Jack wore it around the house all afternoon.
Anton also got in on the fun, sporting his own unique fashion of green sweatpants, blue slippers, and purple and gold huskies socks!
