Beds and Boxsprings and Staris, Oh My!

After much debating and deliberating, we decided it was time to make the great bed switch. Abby traded in her beloved Dora toddler bed for Nate's twin bed, complete with new Tinkerbell sheets. It's amazing what a little bribery can do. She actually ASKED to go to bed so she could sleep with Tinkerbell. Nate traded up for his mom and dad's queen bed. The blue and brown striped bedding he picked out should look "cool" (that's the official Nate-approved word) with the sports-themed room he is working toward. A definite upgrade in his book from the construction machines of 5 years ago.

With all that said and done, it was time for Mom and Dad to get their new bed up in their room. Do you think that could actually work out right the first time? Heck, no! What fun would that be? After wedging the new (and apparently larger than the old) boxspring in the stairway, we slept on the new mattress on the floor for 2 days until we could go trade our new boxspring for our old 2-piece boxspring that's been spending its days in my sister's house. Mind you, the reason there is an old set of 2-piece boxsprings is because we couldn't get the boxspring up the stairs in our townhouse 11 years ago. I guess some people never learn!
