The girls have been growing. Which is a good thing, generally, but it also means that they OUTgrow things. Things like clothes, shoes, and eventually, furniture. Pandi was, until this week, still sleeping in a crib. Since she is newly two, it has been convenient for her to be there. For instance, it is incredibly nice to put your toddler somewhere and know that they will still be there in the morning. But, she had finally reached critical mass for the crib and it was time for something new. Enter the FUNKBEDS.
I'm not entirely sure why Sephie latched onto "funkbed." Maybe because the word "bunk" doesn't mean anything to her at three. But, thus christened, Preston took on the project.

Working from a design of his own, Preston put together a pretty adorable pair of toddler-sized bunkbeds. Better still, he only used lumber we already had around the house that was scrap, so the project was totally free! It took a little trial and error (for instance, we didn't measure the door to their bedroom ahead of time and had to undo a little of our progress to get them in the room!), but they came out nicely. The girls love them and the only problem so far is the fighting over who gets to sleep "arriba" (up) or "abajo" (down).

| It's hard to tell from the pictures because you can't really get an idea of scale, but the bottom of Sephie's bed is only about waist high. |

| Diggin' the crazy carpet? That's a project for another day. |
