They bounced. They made skirts out of blankets. They asked for water. They asked for a different movie. They tried to jump off the end of my bed. Anything but sleep.<br /><br />Which meant that I told them to stop bouncing, told them to stop making skirts out of blankets, went downstairs to get water, said "no" to a different movie, and told them to stop jumping off the bed."<br /><br />I laughed out loud when I read it because I SO identified with you as a mom. :) <br /><br />Great post. Hopefully you got some sleep! Loved this part, Sarah:

Great post. Hopefully you got some sleep!
