Last night was our first night sleeping in the trailer as a family, and it was perfect! Jeff and I obviously have a bed to sleep on. We brought our mattress from our 'bricks n sticks' house and it is just as comfortable here. Plus even cooler since we're in a camper. :)
{Our Bed...the cabinet doors have yet to be painted...maybe I'm avoiding it a little.}
We made Jackson a little "room" in the living room where he can have all the dark he needs in order to sleep well. (Right now his bed is back in my mom's house, so he can nap and Jeff can work on the roof during the day.) But this is a picture of where his bed goes...the blanket is what makes his room (eventually I will make a curtain), and the white noise from the fan right by his head is what allows us to move around and even watch movies in the living room while he's sleeping away. The best part?? He slept in for an extra 2 hours this morning! I think it's the dark that helped him sleep longer...whatever it was I LOVED it! :)

Until now, we have been sleeping in my mom's house while the trailer underwent a major overhaul. We have painted the entire thing and Jeff installed new carpet. There was nothing really wrong with it before, but we wanted it to be more like home, and had extra paint and carpet from remodeling our home in Utah, so why not? (I could give you a million reasons 'why not' after the fact...remodeling anything is EXHAUSTING...but totally worth it.)
Paint and carpet sound like such easy things on paper...even after going through the craziness and never-ending-ness of it, I feel kind of sheepish saying that it took us nearly 2 weeks to get just that done. It sure feels like it drags on forever when everything is out of its place (because there is no place for anything) and chaos reigns. Somewhere in that chaos we tried to sleep out our beds. Jeff and Jackson made it, but I got all restless and had to go inside and sleep on the couch. It's the chaos I swear. I don't know how to relax when things are so out of order. I think I'm okay with that (as long as there's an alternative place to sleep!) :)
{The Chaos...not before, not after, but during...ack!}
Anyway, back to trailer living. This morning I made our very first trailer breakfast, and loved everything about it. I have such GOOD memories of trailer camping from when I was a kid, and I love the smell of the gas stove (which is different from the way it smelled when I cooked with the gas stove in our house...then again that's probably all in my mind) even the food for some reason even smells different. I love all the quaintness of the whole experience. I made eggs and hashbrowns.

The best part? The dishes. Seriously this idea of 4 plates, 4 cups and 4 bowls is something I could get used to. When there aren't many dishes there aren't many dishes to wash! This might be the start of a life-style change for this little family. :)
