Saturday night, we sprung ahead, and Sunday when on without a hitch. We somehow managed to get to church on time and the girls went to bed at reasonable hour. Not so lucky today, It's 7:45 and they are still in their room yelling, more than an hour after bedtime.
The first incident involved Lydia getting out of bed and coming into the living room to let us know what horrible words were coming from Audrey's mouth. "Audrey is trying to get me to say the B word." I asked her what the B word is. "Baaay... Baaaay... " I told her to go ahead and say it. "BANGIT!" I immediately turned to Jayson with my best attempt at a straight face and started laughing. We told her to go to bed. Jayson told me I need to stop laughing when they say things like that.
Not much later, Lydia yelled again. This time Audrey was saying the S-H word. I was a little surprised until Lydia told me it was "Shut up." The potty mouth on that kid. Seriously.
Jayson and I thought they had finally settled down and we got a box of cookies and some milk for a little snack. These were not just any cookies. They were WhoNu? cookies, which are supposed to be like Oreos packed with nutrition. I'll let you guess how they taste. WhoNu? We knew. Jayson had them on his lap and Lydia got out of bed again. I told him to quickly cover them up and he threw a pillow on them. Lydia once again had some minor complaint. We told her to get back in bed, but first she wanted a hug. She hugged Jayson and as the wrapper from the cookies crinkled, Jayson and I pretended to hear nothing. Lydia looked confused and grabbed the pillow to reveal the cookies. Jayson and I started laughing. Lydia got mad and asked us why we were hiding the cookies.
We told her that if she went to back to bed and went right to sleep, she could have a cookie tomorrow. Really a win-win situation because she goes to bed and we don't have to eat those godawful cookies.
