Odds & Ends
By Moriah on December 9th, 2009
A couple of quick, random, un-related things…
I’ve gone RED again for the holidays! (I mean, not me personally, but my blog design…)
When I was changing the color of my feed icon, it reminded me I’ve been meaning to mention to those of you new to reading blogs – and I personally know a few – you can click on that icon (in the sidebar to the right, directly under the words “Subscribe (it’s free!):” and subscribe to my blog (and anyone else’s) so that you can check for new posts all in one spot (your feedreader) and not have to click around to each individual blog that you read in order to check for updates. A HUGE time saver.
Several questions from the comments on my last post: The bunk beds are Columbia from Atlantic Furniture. Just do a Google search if you’re interested; lots of options and colors available.
The plan for now is to keep Adelaide in the crib until Arianna grows out of the bassinet in our room. Then we’ll put her in the crib and probably Adelaide will go in the full bed with Madeline. I don’t plan on setting up the top bunk anytime soon but wanted the option for the future. (I think it’s recommended that children be 6 or 7 before they sleep on a top bunk and Madeline is only 4.)
Also, I know the second photo makes it look like the footboard is taller than the headboard; they’re the same height.
I’ve also been asked several times about the bathroom project/remodel. My dad ended up hiring out the drywall and they came yesterday. I’ve got a fan blowing in there to hopefully speed the drying. I think it needs two more coats of mud and then they’ll sand/finish it. After that, it is just the window trim and baseboards left, which my brother will do. Oh, and the paint. (Which started the whole mess, remember?)
And as usually with any home-improvement project, it will be SO nice when it’s finished. (In EVERY way.)

I think you should do your hair red too. So festive.
no more peeing in the bushes hahaha
Oh don’t you look loverly!
Don’t you just love home projects that take way too long? We remodeled our kitchen in our first home and for eight months my stove was on the front porch and my refrigerator was in my dining room – I was not a happy camper, but we just kept running into problems and Jason could only work on it on weekends.
So Emily started sleeping on the top bunk at 3…

It’s not showing up red for me, but I’m assuming that’s my problem not yours since others are seeing it. Weird. Also, Coop has been on the top bunk since he turned 3, with no problems. The mattress is recessed and he doesn’t move much in his sleep. Adeline, on the other hand, will probably be 15 before she’s still enough to be on the top. She would STILL fall out of her bed every night without a rail. Oh- and Thomas got out of his bed two nights ago…made me think of your kids!! The rail is up to his armpits so I have NO idea how he did it.
Okay, scratch that. It’s red this time…
Jadin has been sleeping on the top bunk when he turned 3. And he is moves A LOT. They actually like playing there a lot, though I had to say no when Daniel (he was barely three) fell out of there. He was perfectly fine (just scared) That wouldn’t have happened if he were just sleeping, though.
