Top Ten

Life in a Nutshell

Here are the top ten excuses for why any of our children must get out of bed after we've said good night:

#10. Need cold water (in water bottle)

#9. Need band aid

#8. Need throat drops

#7. Need cream on my bum

#6. Need drops in my ear

#5. Did you forget to kiss me good night?

#4. What is Dad watching on TV?

#3. (so-n-so) is out of bed

#2. (so-n-so) kicked my head

#1. Do I have two noses?


Multiply that by 4, (not 5, since the littlest cannot escape her crib...bwahahaha) and you pretty much have our evening from 8:30-10pm.

And on a note not entirely unrelated, our Netflix DVD of Pirates of the Carribean: Curse of the Black Pearl has been sitting in its packaging for over a week, unwatched.
