Hello New Beds!

The cribs were converted while the boys had their supper – no drill required either, so it was a silent operation.

Suffice it to say, our stealth was rewarded with maximum effect.

A picture for posterity before the big reveal: 

New blanket, new pillow and a new (and potentially nightmare-inducing) stuffed toy.
Perfect!

Of course, this picture makes it look like the new beds were met with calmness, but trust me when I say it's a fluke shot: 

In fact, there weren't many pictures that weren't just a messy blur. This is the only one of my boys together where everyone is reasonably in focus (made possible by the discovery that the new blankets lift up): 

And then it was game on: 

... and on: 

 

... and on:

This is the only picture I could get of Nate by himself where he is at least nearly in focus: 

My boys had a good 90 minutes to check out their new beds before bedtime and they made good use of every single one of them. No one bothered with toys – it was all about the beds and the possibilities contained therein.

Or not so contained as it turned out.

But the hour is late, and how it all turned out is a story for another day.

Sleep tight.
