The kids have been exhausted, sick, and a bit wild since school started one month ago, so what better thing to do than have a sleep over (or two!)
The kids settled in each night and we in bed and asleep by 930. Not bad! We made the following rules: 1. No one was to leave their beds until it is light out. 2. If you wake up before the others, you are not to wake anyone else up, but quietly leave the room. 3. You may turn on the tv quietly in the morning without waking up any sleepers (us included!). The first night went well. The kids woke up around 6a and entertained themselves with our babysitter of choice until we woke up. The second sleep-over was a little more exciting. Around 2am, I woke up to hear the tv on downstairs. I went downstairs to find Nick, Tim, and Soren all watching tv. Nick said, “What? I thought I saw some light outside.”—ah yeah, those would be called stars;) While some of the stories differ, the five-year olds both reported that Nick woke them up to come down to watch tv. Oh Nick…
But nonetheless, they all went back to sleep without a fuss. And woke up puffy-eyed, dragging, but happy in the morning…
