The Winners Are...

Mom and Taryn!!! Great Job!
Thanks, Jill, for the wishful thinking...yes, that is what friends are for, to keep a positive outlook..haha!

So here's how it went....

At 4:00 am Mallory comes meandering into our room to assume her normal position...right in the middle of her daddy and I. As she is climbing over Raleigh in the darkness she mumbles in the sweetest sleepy voice, "am I still going to get m-n-ms?" Raleigh and I chuckled and we were all back asleep. Then at 10:00 am, when we rolled out of bed, I went looking for Emma. She was just getting out of her bed and I was praising her for staying in her room all night and I asked her, "Did you wake up in the middle of the night?"...she said, "yes", I said, "Why didn't you get in our bed?"....she said, "because I didn't want to eat cold green beans!!!" hahahaha I thought that was so funny that she even thought I would make her eat that for breakfast...I've NEVER done it before!

When it was time to hand out the m-n-ms, I just couldn't bring myself to not give Mallory any, she was sulking and hanging her head down when I announced Emma would get m-n-ms, so I said, "Okay, since Mallory stayed until 4:00, she gets 4 m-n-ms, and since Emma stayed in her bed until 10:00, she could have 10 m-n-ms."

So that's how it went...since then, the girls have still been sleeping with us. They say their room is scary...if you have seen their room, you know it is the most beautiful, whimsical room in the house. Who knows how we will ever get them to STAY in their beds.

Thanks for commenting...I was laughing at what you guys had to say...you were all right in your own way!!!

P.S. I figured the look on Mallory's face when I took her picture would be a definite give-a-way. Raleigh and I cracked up over her facial expression in that photo.
