Narrative:

While setting up to land at boston/logan at xxof EST on runway 27 (ILS) we were offered an approach to runway 22L to expedite our arrival. We had already accomplished the descent check and if I haven't been directed to do it earlier, I do the 'no smoking light 'cycled' part of our approach check 20 mi from landing to signal the flight attendants to pick up and situation down. When we got the clearance for the approach to 22L, we were closer to the airport than I realized for that particular approach. The captain and first officer were rebriefing the 22L approach (also includes holding short of the intersection of 27 after landing, no vasis). I was trying to contact boston ramp of our expected landing time and get a gate number. I saw the captain looking over to the right and saying 'we're steep for 22L' and I signaled the flight attendants at that time. We configured quickly after that and landed on 22 with 2 flight attendants standing in first class. I had signaled the flight attendants too late. Factors. Captain and first officer were close when offered a 'challenging' approach option and got engrossed in that. I was working on raising bos ramp and did not update our position in relation to landing when we switched runways. The captain and first officer were busy trying to get a descent and fly the approach. It was also our fifth flight of the third day of the rotation. Boston is our home base so maybe familiarity played a part too. I initiated the approach check, the captain did not but I did not tell him that the flight attendants needed more time. I 'hoped' they would have enough.

Narrative: WHILE SETTING UP TO LAND AT BOSTON/LOGAN AT XXOF EST ON RWY 27 (ILS) WE WERE OFFERED AN APCH TO RWY 22L TO EXPEDITE OUR ARR. WE HAD ALREADY ACCOMPLISHED THE DSCNT CHK AND IF I HAVEN'T BEEN DIRECTED TO DO IT EARLIER, I DO THE 'NO SMOKING LIGHT 'CYCLED' PART OF OUR APCH CHK 20 MI FROM LNDG TO SIGNAL THE FLT ATTENDANTS TO PICK UP AND SIT DOWN. WHEN WE GOT THE CLRNC FOR THE APCH TO 22L, WE WERE CLOSER TO THE ARPT THAN I REALIZED FOR THAT PARTICULAR APCH. THE CAPT AND FO WERE REBRIEFING THE 22L APCH (ALSO INCLUDES HOLDING SHORT OF THE INTXN OF 27 AFTER LNDG, NO VASIS). I WAS TRYING TO CONTACT BOSTON RAMP OF OUR EXPECTED LNDG TIME AND GET A GATE NUMBER. I SAW THE CAPT LOOKING OVER TO THE R AND SAYING 'WE'RE STEEP FOR 22L' AND I SIGNALED THE FLT ATTENDANTS AT THAT TIME. WE CONFIGURED QUICKLY AFTER THAT AND LANDED ON 22 WITH 2 FLT ATTENDANTS STANDING IN FIRST CLASS. I HAD SIGNALED THE FLT ATTENDANTS TOO LATE. FACTORS. CAPT AND FO WERE CLOSE WHEN OFFERED A 'CHALLENGING' APCH OPTION AND GOT ENGROSSED IN THAT. I WAS WORKING ON RAISING BOS RAMP AND DID NOT UPDATE OUR POS IN RELATION TO LNDG WHEN WE SWITCHED RWYS. THE CAPT AND FO WERE BUSY TRYING TO GET A DSCNT AND FLY THE APCH. IT WAS ALSO OUR FIFTH FLT OF THE THIRD DAY OF THE ROTATION. BOSTON IS OUR HOME BASE SO MAYBE FAMILIARITY PLAYED A PART TOO. I INITIATED THE APCH CHK, THE CAPT DID NOT BUT I DID NOT TELL HIM THAT THE FLT ATTENDANTS NEEDED MORE TIME. I 'HOPED' THEY WOULD HAVE ENOUGH.
