Backstory on the Matress in the Living Room

So the beginning of the mattress in the living is kind of 2 fold.

The first part is that our boys have pretty much always slept in the same bed with us. I know that some people don't agree with allowing your kids to sleep in the same bed, and that's fine but this is my house and my kids and, in the words of my youngest, This is How we Doos It. And all the cosleeping was great when the boys were small but now that they are getting bigger it's harder to find prime space in the King size bed and even if there is space, it probably sweaty or drooly from a munchkin being there a few minutes ago, add to that the fact that John Avery loves to DIG his toes/feet under any part of whomever he happens to be touching, even though he knows that it drives all of us CRAZY!!!! Soooooo, that has lead to Brian sometimes getting up in the middle of the night and sleeping on the couch. (Normally the boys don't get into our bed until around 3 or so and I am unconscious next to everyone and can sleep through ANYTHING)

Ok part deux...I decided to have a movie night at home and put the single mattress in the living room so ten boys could relax and even go to sleep if they felt like it during the movie....well it never left!!! And with it being summer, we haven't been very firm on bed times so we just let the boys sleep in our bed while they watch their channel while we watch our channel in the living room and then Brian ends up falling asleep anyway so he just starts sleeping on the mattress because he knows that that is where hens gonna end ho anyway, why delay the inevitable.

And that, is then story of the mattress in the living room. Oh and I told Brian that i told all you guys that there was now a sheet on the mattress and he said that that just meant that the mattress was here to stay...ugh, hopefully not.
