Finally!

We moved the bedrooms today! Chris came at just after 10am to finish up some final things in the boys' room and help us move our furniture upstairs. It was all going smoothly, remarkably smoothly actually, until....the boxspring. Knowing our queen size mattress barely fit up the stairs with bending and pushing and pulling, we knew the box spring was going to have to go another way if it was going to get up there. Our first try was up the temporary stairway, in through the boys' window. We had to remove the window itself, but still, no-go. The next try was to to hoist it up to the scaffolding (also seen in the previously linked post) just outside the master bedroom window - again having to remove the window - and after nearly giving up, Scott and Chris were able to get it through the window. Thank Goodness. The next step was to try to carry it up a ladder and haul it through the closet window...yeah, that would've been fun.
Anyway, the boys' room is nearly complete, our bedroom-type furniture is in, but we still have to purchase furniture and pillows for the reading area by the window seat. And I kinda got burned out enough that I haven't moved all my clothes up there yet.
The kids went to bed in their new room tonight - and so far so good. This is Devin's transition out of his crib, so we tried to make it appealing for him. Let's hope we don't have a wandering 2 year old tonight.
I'll post more pictures with the furniture in later (again got burned out a bit). Whew! Can't believe we are finally up there!
