Then we had a baby and had that answered for us pretty quickly :) we laugh when we think back...ahh the days before parenthood...Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07110768592676405839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-36706011995205872142010-04-06T19:23:22.471-05:002010-04-06T19:23:22.471-05:00I used to do the same thing!

Ack! And oh my goodness, changing sheets with the three kids is enough to make me go insane. Why do they think it's okay to all jump up and down during each stage on the bare mattress, then pad, then fitted sheet, then blankets while I'm in the middle of trying to pull it all together. I'm pretty sure many meltdowns have come from making beds with the kids!Kate @ Bliss and Thathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836510592490523666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-86843632779530471442010-04-06T11:27:29.982-05:002010-04-06T11:27:29.982-05:00You'd think after three kids in four years, I ...You'd think after three kids in four years, I might have thought to do something similar... But no. It's been four years of mumbled substitute-profanities ("Cheese and crackers! Another blowout?!") and sometimes twice (or thrice! Isn't 'thrice' fun to say?) daily sheet changes. <br /><br />In conclusion, you are a genius :DLenaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14128174350293301827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-44969889037069250402010-04-06T10:26:14.376-05:002010-04-06T10:26:14.376-05:00Receiving blankets are so handy in so many ways!Receiving blankets are so handy in so many ways!Madelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02269938426943887438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-68604537978582988532010-04-06T08:42:27.233-05:002010-04-06T08:42:27.233-05:00My mom gave me the same idea when I had the wee on...My mom gave me the same idea when I had the wee one. When I'd make the bed, I'd have the mattress protector, then a receiving blanket, the sheet and another blanket (I really didn't want to take off the protector)....also I always had a receiving blanket over the diaper changing pad thingy...<br /><br />Ugh. I have to find all this stuff again!Kerrie @ TFKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01346624342834471106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-31854888472268191712010-04-06T08:20:25.455-05:002010-04-06T08:20:25.455-05:00Brilliant!

I bought one of those mini crib pad-thingies to put over the sheet, which proved to be a huge waste of money since my babies were larger than the pad within a few weeks time.
