Bunk Beds and Bacon

Where have I been for the past three weeks? Obsessed. That's where. :) We are in the final stages of transitioning the girls into bunk beds. (I'm actually typing this on Megan's computer while they are trying to fall asleep for the first night in their new beds!) It's slow going but I kinda knew that it would be. Change is never easy. Sometimes it's fun and exciting, but still a little overwhelming and scary.

So this has been a crazy process, one that we didn't intend to start until closer to the holidays, but once I get an idea in my head I can think of little else until I see it through completion. In two weeks I bought new furniture, sold Allison's old furniture on craigslist, emptied the toy room, painted the toy room 'powder pink', moved Megan's furniture into Allisons, moved all of the toys into Megan's room, painted a bookshelf, etc. etc. etc. And when I say final stages, my projects left include: painting wooden knobs for their dressers, buying a few more things to decorate, and painting some more stuff. Like the top drawer on Megan's desk that I painted last year for Christmas to match her old room.

And at this exact moment Megan is climbing down to sleep with Allison in the bottom bunk. :) We'll see how this goes.

Also in the past few weeks, Megan has decided to become a vegetarian. Bless her heart. She is as stubborn as a mule. She has decided that it's cruel to kill animals to eat them so she has been refusing meat for a while now. Even at restaurants (a.k.a McDonalds) she orders a salad. But tonight she broke. I made Mark BLTs. And then Allison wanted some bacon. And then Megan said she wanted some. I said, "You know it's meat right?" Now obviously I don't care if she eats it or not, but I just don't want her yelling at me later that I gave her meat and she "didn't know."

So, she thought about it for a minute and decided that she will be a vegetarian who eats bacon. :) Can you blame her!?!?!

And there's some other stuff going on too but will save that for another blog. I'm going to sneak out of their room now (which they appropriately named The BUNK BED room!) even though I could sit here all night listening to them talk sweetly to each other.
