A good nights sleep

NOT!

Just when we had finally gotten Ethan sleeping in his bed all night and Maddisyn staying in her own bed for the whole night, the little buggers decide to change the rules on us and revert back to their old habits.
The last few nights have been hard on us, moreso for Andrew who has to be up at 4:30 every morning to get ready for work. The last couple of nights have been hard on him as the kids prefer to lie all over him rather than me (I dont mind telling them to move along if they smother me!), so while Im only left hanging on the end of the bed, hes doing the same thing on the other side but with two extra bodies draped across him.
Weve tried to sleep on their beds but unfortunately, you cant stretch as well on a single bed as you can on a kingsize bed and its not as comfortable!!
I awoke at 4 this morning to Andrew complaining that he feels buggered and curled up in the far corner of the bed, with Ethan saying to him ' You okay dad?' wide awake and full of energy.
Poor thing, Im gonna have to pamper him tonight, if he stays awake long enough. Hes usually asleep a couple of hours after he gets home from work .
Karleen and I are counting down the days untill the kids go back to school (only 12 more days to go). All the kids are starting to go stir crazy no matter how often they get out, not to mention their parents who are getting sick of the fighting and tantrums! Andrew and I did the 'back to school' budget yesterday. Definitely not cheap with 4 of them at school, but I just thank my lucky stars that they arent all at high school yet, though it will probably be cheaper now than in another 4-5 years when they are all there.
Did you know that Kyla has stuff like surfing lessons, rockclimbing, childcare etc as a part of her curriculum should she choose to do so. And you pay through the nose for the privelige too :(
