Movin' On Up

Ben asked what I wanted for our anniversary and I told him I wanted to look at beds for Maddie, which I've actually been wanting to do for awhile. With school ahead and no income, I figure now is the time. So, he appeased me and we spent most of that day looking. Then that night we got a babysitter and decided to try somewhere new for dinner and ended up eating at a Teppanyaki Restaurant (where they cook the food in front of you). It was pretty good and very entertaining. Those of you who are Office fans may remember a specific episode where they went out to eat at this type of restaurant. I was giggling when we walked in, remembering this particular scene in the show. We tried to recite some lines from the show, but neither of us is good at doing that. It was fun to try though. It's also nice to both enjoy the same show and it makes us laugh. Afterwards we went to a movie. It was a great day.
Her bed was all out of stock and so I think we'll be ordering it soon. But today I spent the day getting it all put together and everything switched around. Here Maddie is enjoying her big girl bed...well mattress and fixings at least.
She asked if I had a rose she could pose with after I took this picture--where does she come up with this stuff??
Camden, in turn, received Maddie's toddler bed, which I was a little hesitant about. He just sleeps so well in his crib, but what they hey! Back when we switched Maddie into this bed (shortly before Cam was born), it was a bit of an adjustment for her, getting out of bed and crying....But tonight when I told Camden it was time for bed he got a big grin on his face and practically ran there. As of yet he hasn't made a peep. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
Kind of an expensive anniversary...it all adds up so quickly-bed, mattress, box spring, sheets, sham, bed skirt, pillows, blankets, mattress cover, pillow cover...the list is never ending. Ben thinks I am more excited about it all than they are. I beg to differ. Thanks honey!

That sounds like a fun anniversary present to me. Maddie will love having a big bed! Talbie loved babysitting too. I'm so glad you had a good anniversary!

I've been on the great bed search myself! Trying to figure out how to move the boys in together to make room for baby sister, And then new girly bedding for the nursery! It certainly does add up, but it sure is a ton of fun! That is when it's not a head ache!! I love Maddie's bedding SO cute! Also Happy Anniversary!

Meghan said...

Happy anniversary! Brandon and I went to a restaurant like that in Arizona and I loved it! Maddie's bedding is so cute- do you mind sharing where you got it?

Cindy said...

Thanks...no I don't mind sharing Meghan-I got the quilt from Bed Bath & Beyond, sheets & sml pillow from Target. I saw it and had to have it b/c it matched her room as is so perfectly.

I'm suprised that you got the cute pillow at a different place than the comforter...they look like they were made to go together! Looks cute! Where did you find her bed frame? I still need to get frames for the kids beds...ours too for that matter!

Happy Anniversary!

PS...Catie and Maddie must be related because Catie likes to pose with her head to the side and likes to hold flowers in the pose. Girly girls!

What a fun anniversary! That's crazy it's been five years. I love the bedding you got for Maddie. I've been looking for bedding for Roman (I'm just going to put him in a twin bed with rails when the baby's born.) I'll definitely have to check out BB&B. I'm glad you guys are fans of the office like we are. Yea...it's coming on tonight :)
