Wackamole and Musical Chairs

Every night I feel like Chris and I play a version of two games - Wackamole and Musical chairs, or Backtobed and Musical beds may be more appropriate titles. This is how it goes. We put some of the kids to bed, then they pop right back up and out of their beds again. We put them back and out they come again. One after the other. We feel like we deal with the needs of one and then another one needs something. Back and forth and back and forth. Musical beds is where Chris and I end up sleeping in different beds almost every night. Many times the kids fall asleep in different beds then their own and if we don't feel like lifting them back to their beds while they are asleep, Chris and I go find available beds to sleep in. I feel like I sleep in a different bed every night. Oh, and don't forget that most nights, some kids get up in the middle of the night and join us or kick one of us out of the bed we are in. And there is plenty of middle of the night bed switching and hunting for an available bed. But it works for us for now and we are trying to enjoy the kids while they are young as I know this stage will go too fast. Such is the life of a parent and I wouldn't trade this life for anything.
