The New Bed

Logan's new bed has arrived!!  Vince and his friend Jonathon got home yesterday around 11:10pm.  The girls were in bed, but Logan and I waited up for them.  They left at 3:30pm, so it was a long evening for them, but it was so worth it.  Even after the gas money we ended up paying $200 less than we would have had we bought a new bed.  Plus, the one we were planning on buying was no where near this nice!

Logan was really excited about the bed, he was hoping it was stairs though and not a ladder, but I think he'll be ok.  We even went and picked out a Spongebob bed set and put it on the top bed.  He climbed up pretty good, but then he tried bouncing on the top and hit his head on the ceiling.  After that he wanted nothing more to do with the top bed.  He opted to sleep on the bottom trundle bed instead.  I checked on him later that night and he seemed to be ok.  The next morning the girls were all about his new bed.  They were climbing all over the bottom bed and just sitting there playing with toys and Logan's blankets.

Vince, the girls and I went to my SIL baby shower today.  She is looking so cute and she is due on my birthday! :)  She got some great gifts and had some fun trivia questions mixed in.  For example: at what age should you remove a mobile from the crib?...... 5 months old.  Yeah, my girls are 15 months and they still have theirs, haha!  They do like to pull on the little animals though and sometimes it falls into the crib so maybe it's time to take them down.  Plus the batteries in both mobiles are dead and that gives me an excuse not to buy anymore.  The girls were pretty good at the shower for the most part and they really enjoyed the food.

Tomorrow our EBT gets refilled.  I don't like being on government assistance, but we have been living off of chicken nuggets, hot dogs and other junk for the past couple weeks.  I'm going to get my shopping list ready and we are going to start eating healthy.  I'm excited to start this new chapter in my life.  For me, this is a big deal.  I don't want the kids growing up eating junk.  We also are not going to allow soda in the house.  We haven't had soda in the house for the last three months at least and so far so good.  I miss it sometimes, but if we ever go out I do sometimes get a soda.  So let the good eating begin!!
