No boys allowed

November 10, 2012
We decided to give the kids their own rooms again. Not that we have many other options in our small house. It's just that every night Cole was throwing hellatious fits and keeping everyone from going to bed. Plus, it seems like most of my time is spent trying to keep Pearl from tattling or whining about Cole doing something and Cole from hitting Pearl. It was time to part ways. I was a teensy bit sad about it though because my brother, Jesse, and I shared a room until I was about 11 and I loved it! We made up all kinds of quiet guessing games for those nights when we didn't want to go to sleep.

But Pearl loved the idea. I guess she is getting to be big enough that boys and especially little brothers just aren't cool anymore. As is evident on the sign she posted on her door, even before I'd finished dejunking, cleaning, and organizing their new rooms.

"No boeys aloud. Only my Dad and Cole."

Translation: "No boys allowed. Only my Dad and Cole."

I guess boys and little brothers aren't totally uncool yet.
