Shotgun!!!


Look how sweet these boys look?  Don't be fooled, they turn into deranged animals when it comes to deciding who sits in the front seat.  I'm losing my ever-loving mind!

The older one thinks he gets to have the front because he's oldest, the other two think they should get it if they call it, sometimes they say the person who reaches the car first gets it and sometimes they think the person who can physically remove the others from the seat gets it.

I walked up to the car this weekend and they entire thing was rocking as an all out brawl was going down in the passenger seat - someone was screaming "I called shotgun for the whole week!"  Someone else screamed "You can't DO that!"

Dear God, someone help me!

What do you all do about shotgun disputes?  Do you have a system?  Help!

Feedback Friday - Read and Discuss


(Damn, this is cute! And, yes, I turned on the light at 11 pm to snap this picture)

Read:

My two younger sons are 8 and 6 years old. Though my 8 year old has always been the "loner" and wanted his own space, he is currently going through his "nightmare phase" (just like big brother did). He has had a few bad dreams at night which resulted in him asking the 6 year old to sleep in his room.

Apparently, having his brother sleeping in the next bed didn't seem to ward off the dreams, because next he asked his brother to sleep next to him in bed. This seems to have worked and they have slept in the same double bed for the last 3 months or so.

The boys chat a bit before going to sleep, and once asleep never stir until morning.

This sleeping arrangement drives the Big Guy crazy.
