Don't make the same mistake

So, take it from me, there is a big difference in size between a crib mattress and a twin bed mattress. I have vowed that I will have the girls' rooms decorated. Soon. As soon as possible soon. Unfortunately, I was having trouble finding crib sheets and blankets so I purchased twin bed sheets and blankets for Allie's and Em's rooms. The sheets and blankets are HUGE. I was able to tuck the fitted sheets under the mattresses so that wasn't really a big deal but the flat sheets are just too big to try to use and I've had to fold the blankets up in order for them to fit on the beds.

I think I am going to take the flat sheets and make crib skirts from them because the crib skirts on there now don't match at all. I hope to have those completed by May. Or June. Maybe. (Yes, I do own a sewing machine and I can sew. I just don't have time!)

The girls wore sleepsacks for so long that they are not completely comfortable sleeping with blankets. I usually end up covering them in blankets after they fall asleep and then they wake up in the middle of the night and move as far away as possible from the blankets. Allie was a 'big girl' for me last night and proudly tucked herself in and stayed that way throughout the night.

I was also able to squeeze in some decorating last weekend.



I promise to post more details and pictures when the rooms are finished. In May. Or June. The girls are very excited about their big girl beds and their rooms. At night, they love racing upstairs to see their beds. It could also just be that they are exhausted but still they want to go sleep in their beds.
