In our little world with three growing boys, there's ALWAYS SOMETHING to smile about...
but usually only after we've given the initial blank stare with mouth WIDE open and no words coming out thinking "WHERE in the world did THAT come from!?!"

and then had a few moments to actually think it through...

Things That Go BUMP in the Night

Every mother LOVES to be woken up at midnight by the soothing sound of a loud crash and a few bumps over and over and over...right?

Sure.  No worries.

I had just fallen asleep when I really heard a super loud BANG! coming from Child #2's bedroom.  It happened again and again.  So, I did what any loving mother would do.

Me: [pushing husband off the bed]  Hon. Go check on that.
Husband:  What?
Me:  Seriously!  You didn't hear that?
Husband:  What?

[another CRASH!  followed by Husband leaping out of bed followed by a few muffled words followed by very sleepy yet somehow audible words]

Child #2:  Let me out.
[crash]
Child #2:  Let me out.
[crash]
Husband:  Son, what happened?
Child #2:  Let me out.

[muffled words followed by calming fatherly words followed by the sound of Child #2 getting back into bed followed by husband getting back into bed]

Me:  What happened?
Husband:  He was trying to get out.
Me:  What?
Husband:  He was trying to get out through the bookshelf. 
Me:  Over and over again!?!
Husband:  Uh huh.  Pretty much bumped everything off the shelves and now he's back in bed and there's a huge mess on the floor.
Me: Oh.  'kay.
Husband:  G'night.
Me: 'night.
