Ev's Bunk beds

It seems that a requirement of being young is having bunk beds at some point. I know that I had a hand-me-down set from my older cousin Sher that I shared with my sister. I remember jumping onto her bed every morning as a friendly wake up call on my way to the shower.

This week we decided that it was time the Doucette household fulfilled our bunk bed requirement. Evan had long ago outgrown his tiny toddler bed, yet his parents hadn't taken the initiative to give him a cozier sleeping quarter. With some quick shopping on Craig's List, we came upon the perfect set for our house.

Chris worked hard all day today rebuilding the set in our home. The boys have quickly adapted by making the beds their new fort.
Evan and Brendan were playing spies on the top bunk.

Evan is showing off the bottom bunk. We were blessed to have friends give us both of these Spiderman comforters. Evan is thrilled! (Ignore his outfit- I have no idea who dresses him everyday!)

We have a little hesitation about Evan climbing the ladder. He insists he will sleep up top. We are just worried about the sleepy 2am potty break. Stay tuned for future blogs. . .


For now, we will see how Evan adjusts. As you can clearly see from this picture, Evan is thrilled to be a real "big boy" now.

I remember my bunkbeds well, my sister and I loved having them as kids. We only had one accident with them and that was when my sister fell off and broke her collar bone but that was a little bit of my fault and she was much younger than Ev is. :)

Man I remember our bunk beds. I think that bed was my very favorite growing up. I loved that I had a little cupboard nook next to me where I could stash my pink diary, stuffed animals, books and my sticker collection. I was glad you got stuck up top—even if it meant you nearly broke my ankles jumping down every morning...when there was a ladder just a few feet away! :)

I recently came across a couple of colorful designs on more
bunk beds and kids bedroom furniture.
