Bumps in the night...

Apparently with the cold, comes noises. All night long we got awakened to loud snapping sounds. Which sent children scrambling into my room. I thought for sure it was pipes busting, but once i stepped onto the floor in the hallway outside my room the loud popping proved to be the wood i am guessing in the floor. So i ended up with 2 kids and a cat in my bed. Shoved onto the last 2 inches clinging to the edge for dear life. My sweet daughter actually complained when i tried to shove her over that "she was getting squished". Hello? You have a lovely room with the nicest pottery barn down comforter that would keep you so warm... Next time i am getting the fancy covers! In true style of my little lovelies they were scared when they came running, but they remembered sheldon's favorite fuzzy pink blanket, so he would follow. This blanket is the secret weapon in the battle for sheldon. Where the blanket goes, he goes. So there are battles over this at night. On some occasions midget will feel generous, and she will allow monkey to have it. She is a girl, so in true gemale style this info is stored. This gesture will be brought up when it is needed to be redeemed. Poor monkey has no idea, he doesn't know that he is now in debt to her. It's funny to watch. So the blanket came with him, and the cat followed. Most nights this would annoy me, but when it is 26 degrees!!! i needed the extra warmth. But, with the popping, the snoring, and all the noise sleep eluded me. Until 5 a.m., then i was deeply asleep and ignored the alarm clock. How do people get out of bed when it is so cold?? We all maanged to get up and out. All bundled up. However, at 10 apparently there is a cool factor. So monkey wouldn't wear the shirt under his, and i imagine he is pretty darn cold. I am guessing there will be a shirt tomorrow :)
The cat, he is all snuggly sleeping the day away... nice life.
