Bedtime

Philip can get out of his crib at will now. He (more or less) knows that he is not supposed to get out once we put him down. Sometimes he will try to defy us without us knowing. Unfortunately, something usually gives him away sooner or later.

We're working on getting him into a 'big boy' bed.

Houston, We have a Problem!

Guess who figured out he can get out of his crib by himself?

Saturday night, I was sitting at the computer after having finally gotten all the kids in bed. Someone came walking right up to me and said, "I poopy." And he was. So I changed him and put him back to bed.

And he got back out 3 more times. I finally had to show him that Mommy was going to bed now and threaten him to stay in his bed.

Then I lay in bed for 2 hours trying to decide if that noise I heard was the cat or the baby up wandering around.

So we're going to get a bunkbed put up in Hayden's room so the boys can share.

However, before I do that I would like to get Hayden's room painted.

Before I can do that, I really should get the girls' stuff out of Hayden's room.

Before I can do that, I need to get their closet systems installed.

Before I can do that, I need to paint their room.

Before I can do that, I need to finish mudding and sanding the drywall.

So that is what I've been doing the past few days. Sanding drywall. I will mud it again in the next day or so, get it sanded, prime it, and hopefully get it painted before school starts next Wednesday. Serves me right for putting it off for so long. But I hate mudding and sanding. I just want to paint.
