Since Annie has been born, we have moved the boys into a room together (we have a 3 bedroom house). I love that my boys are sharing a room. I have so many great childhood memories of sharing a room with my sister, Kristi. As young girls, we would fall asleep every night talking about all life's woes from one girl to another. Bedtime was a great bonding time for us. Because of all the great memories I have, Chris and I try to stay out of the boys room once we have tucked them in (unless we here the infamous, "I'm hurt" cry coming from behind the door). We figure that it is a bonding time for them, and great memories will be made as they talk themselves to sleep each night. Well, I forgot to figure in the fact that boys don't talk. They climb and jump and destroy until they crash. Last night, for example, we put the boys to bed at 8:30, and at about 10:30 I here this crazy amount of ruckus coming from their room.
Chris goes to check on the boys, peeks quietly in their room, and then runs back to our room for the camera. Here is the clip of the video he brings to show me.
The funny thing is, Chris records this, and then as he is leaving the room, I hear him say, "Alright boys, just be careful and you can play for awhile longer. You are being good boys playing together without fighting." (Remember it is 10:30 pm!!)
We will definitely never win parents of the year-- thanks to Chris :).

I'm crying because I'm laughing so hard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Chris's final comments that you added at the end just top it off!
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And how intelligent are your little ones with the little slide they created!! Engineers in the making!!!!!
p.s. I totally agree with you on sharing a room with sisters!! I loved it!! I can still remember when all three of us shared the master bedroom for a year!! I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is so funny. Isn't it intersting what they will get into expecially when avoiding going to bed.
Oh my word! That is too funny! I love the slide they came up with!
They are just the cutest!
This is too cute! My boys share a room too, but they have never been that creative! Boys will be boys!

Wow! That was an awesome clip. Thanks so much for sharing. That is such an amazing memory and keepsake. Max and Jack are going to love to see that when they become adults and have their kids. Holly and Chris enjoy very minute of these days. They are SOOOOOO awesome. Kids are so cute and amazing.
God bless you all!
That is so funny! I have also recently moved my kids into the same room in hopes that they will sleep better. We haven't had anything that exciting happen yet. I'll make sure Zack doesn't see the video though!!!
Wow, this is so funny. What an awesome memory. I sure do hope Annie was able to sleep. Can't wait to see her in action with the boys...LOL
Love ya girl..
xoxo
This is too funny, Holly :)...just came across your blog (after reading Chris') and I love it! Way to go, girl! I went back & read all your posts...can't wait to get home so we can see baby Annie in person :)...she looks so beautiful in the pics you posted. And the boys are absolutely adorable is this video! See you guys soon!
Too Funny! I let my boys watch the video and they kept asking to see it again and again. Of course I told them not to get any ideas :)
I'm blaming you if they start to tear their beds apart and slide down the mattress. Or maybe I should blame myself for letting them watch it :)
