noah, hazel and olive's shared room

ideally all of our kids would have their own rooms

but since we're in the last year of michael's grad school

with 4 kids (and one on the way) in a 3 bedroom house

 it's not in the cards yet

eleanor still naps twice a day and sleeps a solid 12 hours at night

so she's not quite ready to share a room

we really like her to sleep

so noah, hazel and olive share a room

and until recently hazel and olive shared the top bunk

but they were bothering each other (ok, olive was bothering hazel)

so michael transformed a toddler bed into a trundle for olive

and she loves it

 noah can't get into his bottom drawers while her bed is out

but he prefers pajamas anyway ;)

we don't have any toys in their room (other than stuffed animals) but we do have books

olive's dresser is in the closet

 here it is all tucked in

i'm not sharing this because i think it looks really awesome or anything

i'm sharing it because i don't want to forget how hilarious it is

to have three kids crammed in the smallest room of the house

and if you're wondering how well they all sleep in there together....

hazel's pretty good since she's on the top bunk she can ignore her siblings

noah always stays up reading no matter what

and olive just doesn't like to sleep that much but does like to play with noah..

so not great but it works for now

it definitely brings them closer together and helps them become more easygoing sleepers

and hopefully next year michael will graduate

get an amazing job and we can have a huge gorgeous house with a room for each kid... 

(a girl can dream, right?)
