As the title states, it is ten minutes to midnight and the children are all tucked into their beds. Well. not their BEDS, but that part of the story will have to wait a few minutes!
Logan, our four year old, had his very first sleepover tonight. His friend, K, from next door arrived at 6PM and the boys have been going going going ever since. Basically, we let them do their own thing until about nine, then popped in a DVD for them to watch. When it was done, we started them all on the pajama/teeth brushing routine.
By eleven o'clock, the two oldest boys were downstairs in their rooms and I had headed to Logan's room to make up his bed. Except. His bed was broken - beyond broken, it was in pieces! Turns out, letting the boys "do their own thing" is not always the best idea! I'm 99% positive my eldest had nothing to do with this, and 100% positive that the three youngest, Blake, Logan and K are totally to blame.
Jumping on the bed. AGAIN.
Until three years ago, my children were NOT bed jumpers. AT ALL. Then my mother in law used her bed to entertain them on e day and wham, just like that, they were jumping on every bed they could find! I have tried EVERYTHING to break them of this habit to no avail, and now, Logan's bed has paid the ultimate price!
The boys punishment is deceptively simple, and will most likely be very unsuccessful, but what can I say? I am a vengeful person.
Logan will not be getting a bed until Summer, maybe next fall, not becuase we cannot afford it, though I hate to spend the money on it, but because I want him to go a good long time without a bed, to try and teach him a lesson, ya know? He will sleep on his mattress on the floor. And until Logan has a new bed, Blake will ALSO sleep on his mattress on the floor.
I know for sure that Blake will absolutely HATE this.(I can only hope that Logan will too)
