James lies.

"There are NO toys in this bed, Mom."

We went to the beach with the Bert family this past weekend. The whole weekend was one huge game of musical beds, but the first night we were there, James and Bennett were going to sleep in the twin beds.
I was getting James ready for bed while Bennett was in the other room prepping for bed also. I gave James a choice of which bed he wanted, nicely suggesting that he take the one on the left since that's the one he usually sleeps in when we are there. He asked me, very nicely, if he could sleep in the OTHER bed. I obliged, since it really isn't a big deal and he had asked so nicely.
I was getting him tucked in when he looked at me and said, "There are no toys in this bed, Mom."
"James? Are there toys in here?" I peeled back the covers and saw it... the water gun that was given to him by our gracious guests. HE HAD PLANTED IT. He had planted the gun in the bed that he would be choosing to sleep in.

Last night when we got home from the beach, Nathan was tucking James in, and once again, he says, "Dad, there are no toys in this bed."
Nathan reached under James pillow and pulled out two toys. Ooooh James. You little liar. ;) Nathan had a talk with him about what lying is, but we'll see if it helps or not. If he had only caught on to NOT telling us that there weren't toys in the bed, we never would have checked in the first place! Ha.

New Smyrna with the Berts!

We had a great weekend at the beach with the Bert Family. I am so grateful for my friendship with Kelly, and our kids hit off very well! Of course there were a few arguments throughout the weekend, but mostly they were between siblings. ;) James did get a little ticked off at Bennett for pushing the button on the elevator, because HOW COULD HE? :)
I realized I don't have any pictures of Bennett because while my camera was out, he was up on the sand building a castle.
Thanks for joining us Berts!

Sammy enjoys the sand? ;)
