Rylee:  “Can I have a red bowl please?”  (I dolled out bowls for everyone in case they are sick in the night!)

Caleb:  “My tummy hurts, can I sleep in the sick bed?”

Rylee:  “Mine hurts too, so bad, I want to sleep in the sick bed?”

(the sick bed is simply a mattress set up at the foot of our bed to keep the sick person away from other kids since they all share rooms)

Mama (pausing):  “Whoever throws up first tonight gets the sick bed, sound like a plan?!”

Quietness ensued and everyone went to bed.  At 7:30.  Unheard of around here.  But my it is peaceful!
