Bedtime

I HATE bedtimes. My kids are not good at going to bed. Actually Brooke isn't too bad but getting Hunter to bed is a pain. Some nights he gets in bed and I don't hear from him again and other nights he gets out of bed several times.

Last night he got out of bed once or twice but it wasn't actually too bad. Then I went upstairs when he should have been asleep and his bedroom light was on. His excuse? He forgot to turn it off. Yep, it just slipped his mind. So then I went up later and he was asleep. (Oh yea, I forgot to mention. One of the times he got out of bed he wanted a do-rag tied around his head) I got up in his bed to cover him up and he had the do-rag on and camo sweat bands around his wrists. Then he had about half his room in his bed w/ him. Including, bent up wire hangers that he would have had to go to my closet to get. Tonight when I took them away he told me he was pretending they were tube slides.

I get so frustrated w/ him at bed time but these memories of finding him asleep w/ strange things on or weird things in his bed... well, at the least it will always make me laugh.

by the way, that picture is really him asleep.
