A big boy bed

Since Owen was getting very close to out growing the crib-day-bed, we had started looking on craig's list for a loft style bunk bed to go in his room.  We figured it would take a while to find one that was for a good price and would be "resistant" to the destructive power of a three-year-old.  We finally did find one and it turned out to be even better than were hoping for.  We drove to Reston, VA to pick it up and then drove home with the mattress tied to the top of Sammy - on the interstate, it was fun.  We got the whole thing for $150 and the sellers were nice enough to throw in some flannel sheets!!!  We put the bed part together while Owen was sleeping and then Owen helped put the rest of it together.  He really likes to use the socket wrench (it makes a cool noise). Owen loves it and has to climb up and down the ladder a million times each day.  He even spent the WHOLE first night there, no waking up Mama and Papa in the wee hours of the morning!!!

We think it was a success!
