Prepping the Nest


Last week Chris and I looked around online and at a few used-furniture stores for new beds for Saiya and her new sister.  My sister was having a garage sale this weekend and I really wanted to put Saiya’s old mattresses and stuff in it, so we were a little pressed to find new beds before then.  I randomly went to goodwill on Tuesday and found two ADORABLE beds with rails included!  The wooden one was $25 and the metal one was $15.  I sent pictures of them to Chris and stood around like an idiot for about ten minutes waiting for him to respond on whether or not he liked them.  Finally, after what seemed like forever, he said sure.

We already had box springs from my mom’s old King bed, so all we needed were mattresses, which I decided to purchase new for the girls.  Well, I was so excited, we went to Walmart to buy bedding (we had no twin sized sheets or anything).  When I finally got everything home, we found out that the box springs for a king bed are a good 4 inches longer than a standard twin….  Who knew?  I was so mad!  So on Wednesday and Thursday, I found fairly good box springs on Craigslist for $20 each.  So, after a few days of frustration, Saiya’s room is finally back together and looking more adorable than ever!!

Yay!! New beds!!  Saiya LOVES her new bed, although she already fell off once.  She is still getting used to having less space.  She is definately excited, she tells everyone who comes over that the other bed in her room is for her sister!
