Two weeks ago our new furinture arrived. We got a great deal at a local furniture store that I get a discount from. My job gives them A LOT of business so in return employees get a discount. :-) We got bunk beds with all the fixing and a much bigger table. And I got a super good deal on sheet sets and pillows. Plus, I have some friends who offered me their cribs that convert into toddler beds and one converts into a full size bed! I am truly blessed by all of my friends.
Bunk Beds in Room Two
I haven't picked up the one crib set yet. But my other friend delivered hers a week ago. It took me two days and a few swear words but I finally got the full bed up. We had a very nice box spring and full size pillow top mattress. Brian made a sacrfice and moved his office into kitchen so we could put the bunk beds in there. Both rooms still look like they are missing something. A toy box or doll house maybe?
I found this amazing blog written by a foster child and he gets great tips. http://looneytunes09.wordpress.com/ He suggest having a stuff animal for when children arrive that they can keep and getting duffel back or book bag to keep their stuff in....instead of a trash bag.
Yard sales will be coming up soon and I'm excited! I made a list of all the things I want to buy to make my house kid friendly and fun!
We are still waiting for a placement. I just sent an email to my caseworker, Carrie, letting her know that we are willing to except respite placements and emengery placements too. Hopefully, that will get us started.
