Moving on up...

Success!!
It was very quiet in the bedroom. Too quiet. For the past few weeks, it's either sounded like the running of the bulls in there or like the there was a slow air leak (many hisses) when I haven't been there to separate the siblings.
So imagine my surprise when I rounded the corner and saw this:
