Helpin' Out

Lately, the kids have been difficult.  Getting up at five in the morning EVERY morning difficult.  Yelling and screaming at five in the morning difficult.  Refusing to take naps, but really needing it difficult.  Getting out of bed fifty times at bedtime difficult.  (Come on guys, our life isn't that fun.  You don't need to be up at all hours.) Always fighting over who gets to go first, fighting about who sits next to who at the table, who gets to brush their teeth first, who gets to have the first book, who gets to sit on Mommy's lap D-I-F-F-I-C-U-L-T!  

Look, it's Mr.Happy.

 On the upside, though, they have been eager to help us out on various projects.  Like putting together the new bunk bed-

With all that work and no sleep- it makes a little guy awfully tired...
