Perhaps a bit too excited...

Gabe is REALLY excited for Halloween...perhaps a bit too much.

"Tomorrow's Halloween....I can't wait...I'm so excited".... etc,etc for hours on end.

6:00 PM
Gabe: "I'm so excited for tomorrow...Cael, Issac...It's Halloween tomorrow!" Blah..blah...much more of the same.

11:50PM
Rob went in to check on Gabe before we went to bed.

Gabe: "Is it time to get up?"

Rob: "Gabe, go back to bed."

Gabe: "Are you dressed? Why are you dressed?"

Rob: "Go back to sleep."

Gabe: "Dad, can you get me up?"

Rob: "No...go back to sleep."

Gabe wanders over to my side of the bed

Me: "Gabe?"

Gabe: "Surprise....It's Halloween."

Me: "How exciting (dripping with sarcasm)...now, you have 3 seconds to get you bottom back in bed before I will drag you there myself."

He goes...kicking and screaming...but he goes.

4:22 AM
Cael shows up in our room and thinks it's time to get up for the morning......UGH!!!!!!

4:40AM
Cael: "Is it time to get up?"

NO!

5:15AM
Gabe: "Can we get up?"

NO!


...This all continued until 6:45AM when we finally let them out of their rooms to watch cartoons.



8:09AM
I announce (thinking that maybe...just maybe, the large amounts of sugar we have been consuming may have had something to do with our middle of the night awakenings):


"We will NOT be eating ANY candy or treats today. DON'T EVEN ASK. GOT IT!"




It sounds a little harsh, I know but....hey, they should know better than to wake me up repeatedly in the middle of the night!
