I'm Not Naughty!

So, every year, Jason goes on a little road trip to an MSU basketball game with friends.  I'm totally cool with it, I'm always running here and there and leaving him home with the kids.  But why is it, that every single time he is gone, that everything is just out of whack?

I swear, Lizzy is like the best sleeper ever.  She always has been.  Once she is down, she doesn't wake up until morning (well, actually we have to wake her up during the week).  So, the one day the Jason goes away, she forgets how to sleep...apparently!  When I went upstairs around 11pm last night, I notices a bright light shining under her door.  I went in and she was fast asleep, but her light was on...weird!  So, I guess she must be taller all of a sudden because she can reach the light switch from her crib.  She had obviously been playing and was sleeping in a crazy position.  I decided I would definitely be moving her crib in the morning.  Well, then around 3:30 am, my annoying dog pushed open my door, and there was that bright light shining under her door again.  So, I went in there, and there she was...jumping up and down in her bed having a grand old time.  She yelled at me, "get out of here, I'm not being naughty!" **  At 3:30 in the morning, I decided that now was the time to move her crib.

** Speaking of "not being naughty", that is Lizzy's new favorite phrase...at least for this week.  This is what she says when she actually is being naughty and she knows darn well that she is.  Last night, I went into the playroom and she says, "shhhhhh, get out of here, I'm not being naughty, it's okay".  I'm like, "yeah right, what are you up to you little stinker."  Of course, she somehow manages to find candy and was shoving it into her mouth.  I guess I can't be entirely mad, because we apparently don't have it out of her reach...another sign that she is all of a sudden...way taller...she never used to be able to open up our junk cupboard...and let me tell you...she does it very very very very quietly!

In the meantime, Savannah decided she would wake up Sydney too, so here we were...all awake at 3:30.  Eventually everyone went back to sleep, but then of course, Savannah wanted to go outside and then came in my room to drive me even more crazy because now she wasn't tired.  I swear, this happens every time Jason goes away.  He never believes me, because on any given day, the kids are awesome!

So...here's hoping for a better night tonight!  At least everyone will be tired...
