Welcome to Wordful Wednesday……for more information, see “WW” in my handy dandy tabber box in my right side bar.
See what happens when one “falls asleep on the job” and is too lazy to make their children go to their own beds?
Jeff had a “late night” with the kids, which means they got to stay up late watching a movie together.
He was the only one that stayed on the couch.
Obviously.

You’re brave! I give up when two kids join me (why can’t they EVER sleep straight?) . That’s when even the love seat is more comfortable.
The legs tucked under the shirt make me laugh.

That is too cute! Did you have to move them back to their beds or did they stay there the whole night?

I just found your blog. I had to laugh out loud because I just wrote a blog about Wordless Wednesday and how no one seems to remain wordless. I am so pumped to be able to use words on Wednesday. So, when you check out my blog….scroll down and read my snarky comments about Wordless Wednesday. I think you will like it. Loved, loved, loved the photo! It reminded me of my life with four kids. They are all grown now and my husband and I have the bed to ourselves (unless you count the dogs who think they get to crawl up there too). That was TMI

I probably would have slept on the couch.
As annoying as it might have seemed, it is really charming seeing them all curled up like that together. Some day they all won’t be in the same house and certainly not all in the same bed. How wonderful you could capture this moment.
T Rex Mom´s last blog ..Follow Up…
Brian will so appreciate that pic! He is usually ready to take them right back to bed. Me? on the other hand, usually pulling back the covers for them but even that might have been too much for me…Are you sure you meant to use slept? Seems like the couch might have been a better spot. Next time join Jeff:)

I love this photo — what a sweet moment! I’ve got to give you credit for clinging to that little sliver of space. More often than not, if my son climbs into bed with us halfway through the night, I wind up moving to his empty twin bed. It’s amazing how much space just my one child occupies in bed, I can’t imagine five!
