I know, I know, I am awful at updating this thing. I have probably a bazillion pics to update from June and July but I have to do it from home. And when I'm home in the evenings, I simply do not get on the computer because I'm on it all day at work as is.
Today I want to get your opinions on a home predicament we are in. Lately, Mike and I have seriously been discussing our future plans as far as where we'll live, when we'll move, whether to buy or build, old or new, what things are most important to us in our future home, etc etc etc. We currently have a 3 bed, 2 bath 1800 sq ft home and with 4 people and a dog, most days it feels like the walls are caving in on us. As much as I want to move, the plan is to stay in our house for another 10 years until it is paid off so we aren't going anywhere anytime soon.
Last year we changed Parker's baby nursery into a toddler room. We also decided to make our formal dining room into an office. We moved furniture around and put all our computer/office stuff in that room but I ABSOLUTELY hate it now. It's the first room anyone sees in our house and it's trashed out with all of Mike's work stuff (he's in the IT field). Sooo I have now come up with an idea to get bunk beds for the boys and have them share a room. Thus freeing up the 3rd room to make that a guest bedroom/office. I think we have plenty of furniture to do some moving around, we'd really only need to buy the bunk beds and a desk for the room we'd turn into an office. And we could sell Parker's nursery furniture to help with costs.
My question is...my boys are 3 yrs apart, does anyone have children that share a room? What are your likes/dislikes about them sharing a room? Is 3 yrs too far apart to share?
that's a wrap...

I say go for it.
My sister, brother, and I all shared a room for about a year when our house was being built in Oklahoma.
I was probably 7, wendi 10 and jeremy 3.
We had a bunk bed and a day bed in there. The only thing I remember having an "issue" with was getting to sleep at night.
We'd all lay in there talking or playing and my dad would have to come stand at the door and make us "face the wall" and go to sleep.
He did that on several occasions.
And before that, my sister and I shared a room for about 5 years, but I don't remember having any problems with just the 2 of us.
We were younger then- wendi probably 7, me 3.
I think they'd be fine! I loved sharing a room with my siblings!
I think that is a GREAT idea! The boys are so close in age and I don't see it being a problem. I would love to have an extra room for a guest room or playroom or gym or office! LOL! I apparently need a very big house, which I don't see happening anytime soon :)
Hey Steph,
I know my boys arent 3 years apart but they obviously share a room. Im deathly afraid of broken, well uh anything (arms,legs, teeth, the wall) so we got the boys a trundle bed that is wooden with a few drawers underneath. I could just picture a jumping disaster with my little clowns. its really helped and in the mornings they just push it under and straighten up the comforter and they have a made bed and tons of room to play... its really helped me and my fears, but bunk beds are always so fun. itll really make the boys closer than ever being in a room and probably help Parker witn any future fears he may have i.e. storms. idk just a thought. :) SIDNEY
