I really don't think I can believe tonight...

So about four months ago we took off one of the sides to Harm's crib b/c he learned to climb out. We have been putting off buying a new bed b/c the transitions has been HORRENDOUS but little Cally is getting picked on in the crib (Rachel is a roller and plays bumper cars all night). We try to buy good high quality furniture but b/c we don't know if we are going to be in the house for much longer I didn't want to buy anything permanet. Once we are settled for a while longer I'm gonna buy some good quality stuff for each room that hopefully will grow with the kids into teen-hood but in the mean time I decided a cheap temporary Walmart tot bed was the way to go.

Chris spent 2 1/2 hours tonight putting it together while I took care of kids and rearranged the twins furniture. Everything was so cheap it took forever for Chris to do it. FINALLY it was done and than CRACK... the support beam just spontaneously CRACKED! I couldn't believe it... so it is 9:45 and we have just WASTED our entire evening on this piece of junk. So I trounced back to Walmart tonight b/c tomorrow I have appointments all morning and just wanted it out of my car before I needed to transport kids anywhere. Of course we had lost the reciept and they argued w/me about taking it back but there was NO WAY in living heck I was leaving that store w/o a full refund!!!!

So tomorrow night what will we be doing??? Same thing we do every night Pinky... try to put together a toddler bed! (If we can even find one that isn't crap in this small town).

  1. I hate nights like that. So sorry about the broken bed. That's horrible. Chin up, today is another day. Plus you have really, really, really cute kids. :)

  2. Maybe you could try checking out some online reviews of some of the beds your interested in. That seems to help me a lot. Maybe Callum could sleep in a pack-in-play until you get it all figured out, just some ideas. good luck!
