Sleepovers

My kids are ALWAYS begging to have sleepovers.  Not just sleepovers with friends, but sleepovers in each others bedrooms.  Sometimes I don't care if they do it, but after a long weekend, with a lot of late nights, I just want them to go to bed and get a good nights sleep. 

Tonight they were quite disappointed when I told them they couldn't all pile into Chases room for a sleeping party.  And they were even more disappointed when I told them that they couldn't sleep in the hammock, or on the kitchen table.  But we came to a compromise.  We put everyones name in a hat, and whatever name you picked, you got to sleep in that persons bed.  No switching, or no complaining...

Chase picked first - Spencer's bed.  (they share a room)
Spencer picked - Marlie
Kadie picked - Kadie
Marlie picked - Chase

Surprisingly Kadie wasn't too upset.  I don't really think she was too excited about sleeping in her brothers bed.
Chase did NOT want Marlie sleeping in his bed, because she might play with his lamp...  So he switched (even tho the rule was clearly stated - no switching)
Marlie was REALLY nervous to sleep in Spencer's bed.  What if she got scared?  What if it got dark?  Could she play with Spencer's lamp?
Spencer was nervous too.

So we'll see how it goes tonight.  I guess switching beds isn't all its cracked up to be...

And for anyone who has been stressed out about my blister, I popped it, and it feels like a million bucks today!  Thank goodness!

  4. You're such a push over, letting them switch and all. Next thing you know they will be on the kitchen table (great idea, BTW.)
