I think I may know where Charlotte gets it....

It's 10:09pm.

I put my kids in bed quite some time ago.  Even the older kids were getting in bed an hour ago.

Or so I thought.

As I started my nightly shut the house down routine and went to switch out the last load of laundry, I heard some strange noises coming from downstairs.

I went down to investigate and found Malia and Alaina disassembling their bunk beds.

Granted, I had told them it needed to be done, as we are going to repaint their room this week and the thing is monstrous.

I intended to get to it tomorrow, or maybe Wednesday depending on how tomorrow goes, and whether or not the two science fair projects that are due Wednesday get finished.  Also it depends on whether or not my head explodes tomorrow while trying to help get those science fair projects finished on time.

As I stepped into their room and saw that they were almost done and there are pieces of bed all over, I asked what in the world they were doing.

The reply?
"getting a head start."

I love my life.  It is never boring.

I am now going to snuggle with a baby who is incapable of disassembling things.
