Oh, happy bed day

The ride home from school today was quite uneventful; a rainy day with not much to see outside. The three speed bumps we always seem to bounce over just didn't feel as big and even the geese, which usually are playing baseball at the park (according to Jasper), failed to show up for practice. The afternoon seemed like it would be a long one.

As we turned onto our street, we immediately noticed a large white truck parked in front of our house. "Could today be the day?" I said as the children sat upright in their boosters and tried to catch a view through the water spotted windshield. The day we had been waiting for for the past 2 months had finally arrived.

The drivers from Cotton Cloud Futon were just as excited to get Jasper's bed off their truck as we were to receive it. A big boy bed for a much deserving little one who was only inches away from both ends of his toddler bed. The bed we chose for Jasper was a solid maple Arts and Crafts style bed from Pacific Rim out of Eugene. The workmanship and wood quality are the first things you notice about the bed, but for us (3 Pacific Rim beds later), we love the fact that we are supporting a local business and that all their furniture is made with minimal environmental impact. It feels good to support a company with a conscience.

As soon as the bed was together and made, this is what unfolded next....




May you all have a beautiful slumber tonight!!
