Kyla's Big Girl Bed

So this week Seth, Kyla and I are up in Canton, spending some time with the girls I use to aupair. When we arrived this past Thursday, we were going through all the tasks that the family needed before the parents headed out. We were upstairs where the girls' rooms are and i saw Kara's (the youngest ones) drawers from her bed all in the hall. It looked like they were reorganizing her room, then when I peeked into her room there was Jaida's (the second oldest) old bed stacked up, leaning against the wall. I asked Dawn (the mom) if she was having Kara organize her room, and she told me no. The story that followed was Shelly (a family friend, who has two little girls) was going to take Kara's bed and then Kara was going to get Jaida's old bed. Well I guess Shelly had come over to pick up the bed, didn't realize how large it was, and found that it would be too big for her little girl's room. So I told Dawn, that if she didnt know anyone else who wanted the bed and depending on how much it would cost we might be interested. She then told me the awesome news... we could have it for FREEE!!!!! They wanted it out of their house before they come back, we said deal. So yesterday Seth took part of the bed down to our house, this morning another part, and he will have to take another trip down. This bed is massive!

The bed is a bunk bed, but it isn't a standard bunk it has a set of stairs not a ladder. It only has a top bunk, and underneath is a desk and a play house. There is a lot of storage in it also. It is awesome, and we are so grateful for the bed! I don't plan to move her into a big girl bed anytime soon, but to know we have one for her is awesome!
