Another Movie Night

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning the boys played upstairs while I did some work.

Rachel was doing the laundry when she pulled the mattress pad off of our bed.  I guess it started to crack and break.  So we needed a new mattress pad.  We went over to Kohl's and found a mattress pad to get.  The boys were hiding on the bottom shelf of one of the racks for a while.  Two other little kids ran by.  One of them, a little boy that looked a bit younger than Noah, kept repeating over and over "I found boys, I found boys".  It was pretty funny.

When we got home, we had lunch, but Noah went upstairs for his nap time.  He's been staying up late recently and we can't get him to fall asleep.  So he was pretty tired.  I don't think he slept, though.

We told the boys again that if they cleaned up, we could have another movie night.  We picked up Dolphin Tale.  There wasn't a whole lot to clean up.  Noah wouldn't clean up his mess.  It's hard to punish him because he's ok if you take things away.  So I tried a new tactic.  I offered Evan a prize if he cleaned up Noah's mess.  Evan was excited and cleaned up his mess.  As I had hoped, this really made Noah upset.  He did not want that to happen.  Hopefully, next time he'll remember that.

The boys are supposed to be in bed now.  I hear them.  Hopefully they'll go to sleep soon.

Until next time...
