Bunkbed Resolution!

I know you've all been anxiously waiting. This is totally riveting stuff. Something to occupy the brain during these long winter days . . . what are those Happy Campers going to do about the bunkbed question???

Let's end the suspense.

We're getting the bunkbeds. Coya, we went with a solution close to what you suggested - thank you, dear! The bunkbeds are going in Jack's room - he has better walls for the arrangement. Twin on top for Jack, full on bottom for Noah. However, we ALSO got a full size bed for Noah's room, for those days when they are on each other's last nerve, for when one of them is sick, etc. This also provides another bed for guests, so we feel like we found a win-win situation. Whew. Crisis averted.

Now, however, I need to do a major reorganization of their bedrooms before the new furniture arrives. Uggh. It's long overdue, though. We have a ton of stuff that needs to GO, so in the end this will be a good thing. I just need to get myself fired up . . .

We had a great Valentine's Day weekend - starting with helping out at the party in the kids classroom on Friday. These kids are a riot. It was great. That would be Noah in front with the carrot sticking out of his mouth. I've obviously taught the kid good manners.

Friday night we went the boys' basketball game - 2nd one of the season. We are totally hooked. It is SO fun to watch these kids - they have two FANTASTIC coaches and a neat group of kids. It's just totally entertaining.
That's Noah with the ball. Our guys won the game with a shot that only happens in the movies. At the every end of the game, we were down by 1 point and one of our guys launched the ball right at the buzzer . . . and made the shot. We were on our feet going nuts when we realized we were the only parents standing. Ooops. Guess we've become "those" parents. It was just so stinkin' fun we couldn't stop ourselves.

Saturday we went bunkbed shopping and then the 4 of us spent the evening bowling on the Wii. I smoked 'em all. Yep - a 238, people. Drove Jack and Noah nuts that their mom beat them. Ha. Anyway. It wasn't a traditional romantic evening with my husband, but I was totally happy spending Valentine's Day with all 3 of my boys, my 3 favorite people on the planet.

Next up: The Four Happy Campers are currently camper-less. More on that later . . . . .

NO CAMPER? WHAT? I can't wait to catch up at lunch on Friday! :o)

BTW, I'm so relieved that the bunk bed situation has been resolved! I've been wondering... not able to sleep either! HA!
