Bunk Beds and Farewell Crib

I have told some of you about the adventure of getting bunk beds, and thought it was about time I showed you the pictures. For those of you who haven't heard the story, there really isn't too much to it. We drove down the road and went to a furniture store along the side of the road, specialty...beds. Here is the picture...

We took a local pastor with us who could speak both English and Tagalog. We told them what we wanted, and they told us they would be done in three days. Great!!! On Saturday, they phoned us and said they were ready to deliver the beds (which we didn't know they would do, so we were quite pleased!) They brought them to the house, took them into the room and finished assembly. Here is the finished product with the contractors...

One of the requests we made on this particular bunk bed was to make the bottom safe for Mari to sleep in. They put side rails on all sides so she can't roll out. So, Mari has officially made the move from crib to bed. Ouch...milestones are great, except when they hit you :) It was probably good I had a little shove making the transition, because I might have drawn the inevetible out. She does love her big girl bed.
