Furniture Shopping

Have I said how much I hate furniture shopping. The saleman can be worse than car salesman. Anyways, Cal and I went to a couple furniture stores yesterday trying to find Alexis a new bed. I actaully found one I loved at the Furniture Row, but it was bugging me that the bed alone cost $500 for a full size. Orginally I was going to find a twin bed for her, but Cal wants to get her a full sized one. Plus, if we get a full size bed we don't have to buy a mattress because we can use the mattress that is on our spare bedroom. We were planning on getting a daybed w/a trundle for the spare room anyways. Well it got a me a little frustrated the prices for beds. How can something that has so little amount of parts to it, be so expensive.


Well to my suprise, I come home and was looking at Craigslist. And low and behold, what do I find. A bed I was orginally looking at online through Ikea. A military family bought it a year ago and have now decided to buy a bigger bed. So they are selling this one, with the attachable nightstand for $100. Score! I am crossing my fingers and hoping the sale goes through.

Here is a picture of the bed (without the nightstand):

Here are some new pics of Alexis also. She was playing so cute in the backyard, but, as you can see in this picture, she runs to me when she sees I have the camera=) She couldn't get to me fast enough
Finally got one of her playing with the rocks

And this picture crack me up. She has the Little People animals stuck to her face. She looks a little annoyed in this picture, but she was actually loving it. Just squeeze the animals, apply to face, and they stick. I was doing at first on her stomach, but she liked them on her face. You should have seen the little red rings on her cheecks when we took them off. Oh BTW, don't mind her boy PJ's.

When we were looking for a bed for Freddy, those prices made me mad too... But I think they are so exspensive because of the wood...
Glad you found one yoyu like for so cheap though!
