Ron spent some time this week looking for a mattress for Owen's new Big Boy Bed. It turns out (according to the sales lady at Sleep Country USA) that the best deal for a twin mattress is at Costco. Since we are not members, my friend Nicole and I went at lunch. I bought her lunch out of my blow money for her trouble. We actually bought two mattresses, one for Owen's bed and one for the trundle. I also bought a bag of dried mangoes because the dried mangoes from Costco are the best food ever! The total came to $316.17 which comes out of August's budget since we already spent all of the Big Boy Bed fund.
I had to get gas before I headed out to pick up Cody. I had not brought the gas money with me so I used the debit card and it will have to come out of August's budget also. Of course, there will be more left over in the gas envelope so will all even out in the end.
When I got home with the mattresses, the one that I bought for the trundle didn't fit. It's too thick so that the drawer can't close. I called Nicole to make sure that she had the receipt for the mattresses since I didn't think that I had it. It turns out that she does so we will go back on Monday and return it.
After dinner Ron, Samantha, Owen and I went to Bed, Bath and Beyond. There we bought two pillows and a water proof mattress cover for the Big Boy Bed. I had a $25.00 gift card but ended up spending another seven-something. It will go into the August budget also. I need to get better at keeping my receipts so I know the exact amounts of these things before they hit the bank account!
We put all of the bedding on Owen's bed. It looks great. His whole room looks really cute. He and Samantha tried sleeping there last night. After awhile though they were ready to go back into Samantha's room. I figure it will take awhile for Owen to get used to his new room.
