New Bunk Bed

Tonight Abby is sleeping in her new bunk bed. Daddy and grandpa spent the afternoon working on putting it together and getting it all set up for the girl. The bed had arrived LATE Thursday and sat in its packing boxes till Friday night when Kyle started putting it together. Kyle is a "Lawlor" which means that he does not read directions until all else fails and the project is an a thousand pieces all over the floor. At that point the Lawlor will call for their wives who step in, read the directions and get the project put together in no time. Staying true to form Kyle set out to put together the frames for the top and bottom bunk. When we all went to bed Friday night there were 2 bed frames ready to go together and add a railing and a ladder. Yesterday was a busy day so the bed remained in it's half finished state. This morning we went to church, had a lovely lunch out and returned home to complete the bunk bed. I decided that the best way to help would be to occupy Abby with something so she would stay out of the way of dad and grandpa. Abby and I were busy out in the hall way unloading slats from a box and stacking them when we heard a discussion coming from her room. Seems that the beds had been put together with the wrong sides on each bed. An hour later and TWO (2) changes of sides the "boys" once again had both frames put together, this time in the proper way. (Mind you, they have yet to read the directions) Suffice to say that the "quick" job of assembly took 2 days, several left over parts and some carpenters glue to finish the job.
The bed looks great ! Abby loves it ! Grandma vacuumed up the 12 tons of Styrofoam. And hopefully Abby is sound asleep in her new bed with Jilly the "ZuZu" pet asleep in the top bunk. Sure hope Jilly doesn't snore.
