The birthday present!

We decided it was time for a change in the girls room.  Chloe's birthday was the perfect opportunity to introduce a bunk bed!  Yes it is a huge hit!!  

I would say it is a pretty big upgrade from their convertible cribs.  We were looking for something modern and simple, but when we saw this one (which is nether) we knew it was the one.  What is better for two girly girls than a purple and pink playhouse bed?!  It was a bear to put together, as all of the pieces are incredibly heavy, and we had no instructions (because we bought it on craigslist) but when we were done it felt so good!  It is funny what makes us feel like we accomplished something in a weekend.  I am in the process of simplifying their room (and our whole house) and making it easier for them to clean on their own (or in Maddie's case, easier for her to make less of a mess).  So far so good! Don't you wish you had one of these as a little kid?  Awesome!  Love it!
