Good and Bad changes

 Some things have changed for us the past couple of weeks. First on our way to Wyoming for Halloween weekend we hit a deer. We were right outside of Soda Springs. The boys were asleep and didn't even wake up even though Shane said I screamed bloody murder. We were able to slow down a little before we hit it but it just stood there and we knocked its legs out from under it, flipped it up and over the car, not before hitting the hood and the windshield. We were fine but the deer didn't make it. I understand the "Deer in the headlight look" quote so much better now. They really do just stop and stare at you in a daze. Well we called our insurance and they said they would get an adjuster to come look at the car and note the damage. Well it took them more than a week so yes we will be changing insurance companies... He said it would take the auto body shop a week and a half minimum to fix it. That makes sense since we have to have a new windshield, new hood, new grill and new bumper. Yikes! It is a good thing we don't have to pay for all of that. So while our car is in the shop, insurance will pay for a rental car. We now have this lovely Kia Rio. Quite a bit smaller than our outback but hey, it is much better walking in the soon to be snow right?

Another change is the boys' bed. My good friend's parents were getting rid of their bunk beds and asked if we wanted them. I wasn't quite sure if Broden was ready to be out of a crib but, since he doesn't sleep much anyway I figured it wouldn't hurt to try it. The bottom is actually a futon so it pulls out to be a full bed. They have been sleeping it it together and loving it. Clay has wanted to sleep on the top bunk ever since we got it and I let him tonight since he woke up 3 times last night on account of his brother kicking him in the head or pushing him off the bed. We will see how tonight goes..... Clay helped me paint his dresser to match their bed.  We did navy blue on the outside, the drawers red and the knobs white.  I think it matches pretty good. It definitely looks better than the pastel colors it had before. We also bought a Lightning McQueen bedspread as a early Christmas present.  The boys love it!
