Ok, so BriAnne keeps saying “we need to add a new blog entry” over and over.  With some prying I finally found out that she has suddenly become a little self conscious having her “quirks” out there willy nilly in the wide open.  “Yes dear” I said like a good husband, “I’ll throw something so wild and crazy out there that no one will even remember that you love the rain, to dance, etc.”

So, does anyone else find that they occasionally wake up hanging halfway off the bed, or have a pain somewhere on their body because they’ve been punched or kicked by some unsuspecting visitor(s) in the night? As fun and cute as our kids are, I’ve got to say that one way to insure a rough night’s sleep is by letting one of them sleep in our bed.  Sometimes it’s because they are sick, or scared, or just can’t sleep. Katelyn’s been known to just sneak in between us without us even knowing she’s there until either BriAnne wakes up teetering on the edge of the mattress, or until BAM! I’ve been kicked SQUARELY in the nether region.  I’ll be darned though if they (the kids!) don’t sleep extremely well under these circumstances. Last night little Ethan wasn’t sleeping well (nay, was screaming his cute little guts out) starting about midnight, then 1am, then 1:30 then 2:00 etc. until finally we decided to just bring him in our room so at least Katelyn could sleep. It wasn’t quite as bad as it has been in the past, but I did find myself waking up a few times the rest of the night with either a leg hanging off the bed or my face halfway onto my nightstand. BriAnne was on the very edge on her side and that sweet little Ethan was sprawled out, just as comfy as can be sleeping like a….baby. Even Ethan’s “puppy” (favorite stuffed animal) had more room on the bed than we did, no kidding. Well, I guess we can just be grateful he allowed BriAnne and I to have a couple inches of bed each, right on the edges because he certainly could have taken the whole thing if he wanted to.  Thanks buddy!
