Ashlyn and Jessica have always had a special connection. From the time Ashlyn was a baby, Jessica would often beat me into Ashlyn's room when she would wake up in the middle of night. She would always protest when I would send her back to bed so she wouldn't be tired the next day at school. The sleepless nights and baby stage are long gone for Ashlyn, but she still looks to Jessica when she need help with something or gets in trouble from Mom or Dad.
When we moved back into our house almost 2 years ago, Lauren moved into the guest room down stairs, we had a room built for the baby, and all the kids had their own rooms. Just before our trip to Hawaii, I was feeling anxious about leaving the kids and wanted to move Lauren upstairs. Jessica suggested she could share a room with Ashlyn. We thought about it and decided that could work.
I had been spending some time on Pinterest and saw some cute loft beds. I'm convinced my husband can do just about anything, so I suggested we build one for the girls. I showed him some pictures and a blog on how another pinner made their loft bed, and he agreed! We took some measurements of the room and decided it would be fun to make both of the beds loft beds to give the girls more room. We made our list of supplies and went to Home Depot. 2 hours later, we came home with everything we needed. Armed with two drills, we got to work!
It's a work in progress. I'm usually pretty anxious to finish a project that I start, but I got this itch to move and I don't want to customize the room too much if we are going to be leaving. I don't like being in limbo, but I can't find a house that I like. Grrr. So, maybe I'll finish the room this week...or maybe I'll just keep looking for a house! ;-)
