Bless You's

Most nights it is a fight to keep our girls in their bedroom.  No matter how tired they might be, how many times we praise them for staying in or spank them for coming out, it doesn't seem to do any good.  You put those two in a room and turn off the lights and they just get all squirrelly.

Most nights we hear the door open and just say "Get back in bed!"  Sometimes it works, other nights they meet their discipline.  Tonight was no exception.  Miss Thumb Sucker has already come out 4 times and received 2 spankings.  Miss Firecracker is a little wiser and stays in the bedroom a little better or sends her little sister out to do her bidding.  Tonight she did come out, however, and I am thankful I didn't shout the usual down the hall.

She walked up to me on the couch looking like she was going to whine about some injury, I asked if she got herself in trouble doing something she shouldn't have while she should have been sleeping.  She quickly confessed (which made me have to suppress a smile) but then said, "Mommy, I got my bless you's all over my hand."  I didn't quite understand what she said and asked her to repeat herself and she said it again, "I got my bless you's all over my hand." When I looked at her quizzically again she said, "Buggers."

That made the lightbulb turn on.  She had sneezed and gotten buggers all over her hand and needed to wash!  Ha!  Made me and daddy both laugh.

I always say I want to remember the funny and sweet things they say, so I figured I would blog it quick.  Oh, and if you have any suggestions on how to keep them in bed I'd be all ears!
