Angry Birds Star Wars... the new summer must-have

The sleep wars continue around here. Everyone tells me that one day I won't be able to get them out of the bed during the teenage years. I don't have to worry about that, though, because I will be 80 years old by then. I am aging at twice the normal rate from LACK OF SLEEP. I think I am getting paid back for all the times I told people my babies were "such good sleepers". Note to self... keep mouth shut. It is highly unusual for every single person in our house to sleep all the way through the night. Highly. Even Fran has decided to join in the fun. She now needs to be "retucked" if she wakes up during the night. She says she sees shadows in the hall. Oh.my.word. So, now we have returned to all out, not trying to disguise it, bribery with Rush. If he stays in his room for five nights in a row, he gets a pack of Angry Bird Star Wars little things. They come with two in a pack, and he loves them. So much so that he is not coming out of his room.

We never said anything about staying the in bed, though. I probably should have added that to the bargain. Sleep in your bed.
