David and Mason will use ANY excuse to get out of bed at lights out, anything to procrastinate falling asleep. If you have never experienced this with your own kids, lucky you, and don't rub it in. For the rest of you who have felt my pain, Mason's excuses escalated to the next level this week. If you have seen any of the previous blog pictures, you know Mason has a buzz cut hairstyle. We buzzed his head again last Sunday, then Monday night after we put the boys to bed they were a little wired, okay, Extremely wired. Mason was on the top bunk and David was on the bottom. SuperDave and I had already been back to their bedroom to tell them to quiet down three times and they were working hard to stifle their laughter. Then, Mason wandered out into the living room and after stalling while trying to think of a valid reason why he was out of bed, he said, "Mommy, ... (Stalling) ... Ummm ... David , Ummm... (more stalling) ... David pulled my hair." At this point I just stared at him and he stared back, trying not to laugh. My first question to him, trying not and he stared back, trying not to laugh. My first question to him, trying not to start with the obvious, was how did David reach his head while he was in bed on the top bunk? He started to think about my question, but I asked him to try to pull his own hair and he could not grasp any of it because his hair was too short. By this time he was grinning from ear to ear so I just shook my head and told him to go back to bed. There were no more excuses or noises for the rest of the night after that.
