then avery came out...she had to go to the bathroom.
a few minutes pass, i can hear blake singing/talking to himself but he usually does that so not worried about it
ethan comes out...he has to go to the bathroom, i am sure his little sister is standing in the hallway....
they each get a "mulligan" and are told to go back to bed, no more freebies...
about 10 minutes pass, kendall goes to work out...
avery comes out, she argues with me for a minute and finally says she has to go to the bathroom again, number 2. she takes care of that...
10 minutes later...ethan comes out again and says, "what would happen if you try to read in the dark mom?" like i can't figure out what he's trying to do.....
me: go to bed ethan
him: but mom i really need to know what would happen!
me: just go to bed!
him: but mom!!! just tell me!!!!
me: you'll hurt your eyes but you shouldn't be reading anyway, so just GO TO BED!
radio silence for about 3 minutes...
here comes avery..."mom, blake is singing the itsy bitsy spider to himself..."
me: avery, that's cute, now GO TO BED!
i go up there and tell them they have lost computer privileges for tomorrow and if they get up again, they'll get in deep trouble....seemed to work since they didn't come out again, but come on! it's about 9:30 by then...and i thought we were doing good at 8:) oh well, some nights are like that huh?
other news...finally stabbed myself with my exacto knife...it was bound to happen. i have it in a small flower pot by the phone (so my kids can't get it) but i was looking for something else in the flower pot, and i picked it up and forgot about the the hole in the bottom of flower pots...it fell right out of the hole and stabbed my foot! ye--ouch! so now it's all bruisey and still hurts a bit.
this is the face i get when i ask blake to smile these days...what a ham!
