Twin Beds

We woke up Labor day morning to a very rainy day and decided that it was a great day for a big project. We decided to finally move Cole and Cagney from their cribs to big beds! I asked them that morning if they wanted to do that and Cagney was very excited and said YES! Cole said "no" in a very "no, but thanks for asking" way. We hoped (and were right) that once we actually did it he would be excited about it.

Trevor started disassembling cribs while the girls (it still thrills me that I can say that) and I went shopping for new bedspreads, sheets and bed skirts. It was so fun shopping. Cagney was pretty excited about every bedspread I showed her. We called Trevor at home about the options for Cole.

Their room is pretty small, but until we can finish another bedroom or two downstairs it will have to do.
Here is their room before

And now with their BIG beds


Cole has retro looking cars on his bedspread. He started freaking out the first night when I folded his bedspread down so he could get in his bed. I thought he was freaking out about no more crib. But he didn't want to sleep in the bed, he wanted to sleep ON the bed so he could see the cars.


I love the colors on the bedspread we got for Cagney. And it has the cutest giant ric rac that I just adore. She is a very girly girl and loves pink!

We wondered if we would need rails at the sides of their beds. They are older than our other kids were when they moved to beds so we thought maybe they would be okay. We were so wrong. From the time they went to bed at nine that first night until about midnight Cagney fell out of bed three times and Cole fell out of bed twice. Cagney only woke up one of the times and Cole slept through all of his tumbles. We finally put kitchen chairs at the sides of their beds and they stayed in okay after that. So yesterday I went shopping for side rails and we had a much quieter night last night with no thumps.
