New Beds, Better Sleep

The boys got new box springs and mattresses. Now they seem to be sleeping better. But have you ever known teenaged boys who couldn't sleep at the drop of a hat? Especially in English class?

The odd thing about these beds is that they are much higher than they were before. We didn't realize when we were looking at the mattresses in the showroom that they were quite so tall. The old mattresses were somewhere in the neighborhood of eight inches; these are eleven. And the box springs are another eleven inches. That makes beds which are nearly two feet tall, plus the height from the floor to the base of the rail, which is about eight inches. So that's nearly thirty inches!!

Alfred Checks the Schedule

I'm not exactly sure what he's looking for, but he was checking out the folder that contains the weekly schedules. Perhaps he's checking to make sure it has his daily feedings in it.

great pictures. Just needed a boy in each one.
These thick mattresses are great but can't uses the old sheets on them. Not ones from the olden days anyway

I was going to get a picture of the boys ON their beds, but we were all too tired last night.
