At night we've been playing minute to win it games before family devotions. Somehow this helps speed up bedtime and they've been going to bed quicker. One game was where you have to blow a stack of cards so that the joker is the only one left. Brent did it in 4 seconds and Colin happily declared Brent an airhead! And then Colin belly laughed at his own joke.
We tried to see a movie with some tickets the boys had gotten from school. The one we wanted to see was sold out so Brent went back in to get tickets for a later showing. After waiting in the car for 10 minutes Norah very seriously tells us "guys lets get out of here. He's not coming back"
I was putting Joel to bed the other night and I thought he had gone to sleep but he rolled over and told me "I once ate something that tasted like dads hair" and then rolled back over and went to sleep.
We've had trouble with both Joel and Norah sleeping in their beds all night. Joel was doing great until some kid on the bus told him about Freddy Kruger. Joel would wake up and stand in his doorway screaming at the top of his lungs. Apparently Freddy kills you in your dreams and he would be half asleep dreaming and realize he was dreaming and woke up. He is doing better now but the sleeping thing is still rough. We've resorted to bribing Joel with baseball and football cards. He has yet to get one. We've bribed Norah with shopkins and she also has yet to get hers. Colin wants to be bribed with something! Ha!
Joel still comes in our bed each night but one morning he was so angry at us because he was so sure he had slept in his bed all night and that WE had lifted him out of his bed and put him in our bed. I looked at him and said "Yes Joel. I woke up and walked to your room, lifted you up so you wouldn't wake up and carried you back to my bed so that you can kick me all night long." He doesn't get sarcasm and replied "why did you!!!"
