Like always, I put the kids to bed last night at 7:00pm. Pete was out mountain biking with a friend of ours. For 2 hours, Gavin and Emery jumped around like maniacs, laughed, screamed, threw their blankets out of the crib, undressed themselves, and acted like we fed them a bag of sugar before bedtime. When Pete got home at 9:00, they were still talking, but the screaming had stopped and it was starting to seem like they might actually go to sleep. THEN, at about 9:15, Gavin started REALLY SCREAMING, like maybe he was hurt. Apparently, he was still jumping around because he ended up with a busted lip!
We checked out the inside of his lip, but everything looked fine. Just a fat lip that needed a little ice. What could be better than getting pulled out of bed to eat popsicles on the couch at 9:15 at night! Emery even scored a popsicle without having a busted lip!
They went to sleep right away when we put them back in bed. Maybe I should start giving them a Kool-Aid popsicle instead of milk before bedtime?
