Thank God in Heaven above that the boys don’t have access to this monster:

It’s a Mountain Dew Game Fuel soda machine! Oh my gawd!

My husband didn’t get home last night until 12:30 from the band competition he’d taken our other son to, and he said that when he went down to the ‘dungeon’ - those boys were wired FOR SOUND!

They had Halo 3 on the big screen, and DDR on the regular TV - and they were wound tighter than eight-day clocks!

I knew that one of the boys was being picked up early for church, so I went down there this morning as quietly as I could to wake him up, so I wouldn’t wake up all of the boys. When I opened the door, I was shocked to see all of them not only awake, but, already playing video games!

And the funny little monsters - you know what they said to me? With big smiles crossing all their sweet, sleepy faces, they said:

“We went to bed early, so that we could get up early and play video games, because we knew Daniel had to leave early.”

I thought to myself, “Well, that’s odd, I was sure they had stayed up late.”

So I asked them how ‘early’ they went to bed. By this point, they are all giggling:

“3am. It is early, you know!”

Monsters!
