Sometimes the boys are just too damn cute and they bat their long eye lashes and smile their big dimpled smiles and melt your heart. That happened tonight, when Carlos wanted to sleep in Trey’s bed and we, like suckers, said yes. Every so often one of the boys asks if they can sleep in their brother’s bed and we usually stay firm and say no, but sometimes cave and it’s never a good idea.
Tonight, at 10:30pm, the boys are all still awake and there’s major drama. See, once you say yes to them sharing a bed, it always ends up with more playing then sleeping and the you have to change your mind and send them back to their own bed…thus creating massive drama. At this point. they are quiet but mad at us.
I don’t get that either…I mean, we were NICE and let them do something cool. They were the ones who blew it. How come we’re the bad guys?!!?

Just a little background…tonight all of the boys got to bring a toy with them to Alisa and Holly’s to keep them busy. Levi brought his new, special Spiderman car that I bought for him the day he broke his collarbone. At one point in the evening he threw it at one of his brothers. I took the car away from him (much to his dismay) and told him it was in timeout awhile. Jump to after dinner, the car was on the table and Levi walked in and grabbed it off the table and started to play with it. I went in, took the car from him and told him that since he had thrown the car earlier that it was mine for awhile and that when a toy is taken away, he doesn’t just get to have it back whenever he wants it. He got mad and told me “you are a bad mom”
All I can say is…wow. Yeah, it hurt my feelings but all in all I know in my heart that he’s mad about the car and he still loves me, etc., etc. Where’s the love?
Carlos and Trey kept piping up in the car with “I love you Mama K” and “You are the best mom” and generally trying to earn some brownie point. Don’t you just love when the siblings step up to try to be absolutely amazing?!
Hoping he wakes up on the right side of the bed tomorrow.
