While I cozied up in our tempurpedic mattress with a bowl of Ben & Jerry’s and an episode of 24 last night, Mark was with the kids outside in this–

Mark and the three older kids each had their own wing…in theory. Drew ended up sleeping with Mark in his wing and then woke up at 4:15 and said, “I’m going in.” The other three lasted until about 7:45 when Drew, Lydia, and I came out and crashed the party.

Yes, this was Evan’s idea. He saw something like it in a magazine and bugged me about it everyday until I went to an appliance store and got these boxes to do it. It was quite a scene with the kids in the car and me pulling boxes out of the dumpster trying to jam them into our van. I deserved the night in the tempurpedic.
