Welcome to Wordful Wednesday……for more information, see “WW” in my handy dandy tabber box in my right side bar.
See what happens when one “falls asleep on the job” and is too lazy to make their children go to their own beds?
Jeff had a “late night” with the kids, which means they got to stay up late watching a movie together.
He was the only one that stayed on the couch.
Obviously.

You’re brave! I give up when two kids join me (why can’t they EVER sleep straight?) . That’s when even the love seat is more comfortable.
The legs tucked under the shirt make me laugh.

That is too cute! Did you have to move them back to their beds or did they stay there the whole night?
That is so funny… all I can do is laugh. I have been there and done that!

Lol — DADS!
My kids are NEVER in bed on time when my husband is in charge. NEVER.

aww How Adorable!!! Did they sleep there all night?
Precious! I’ve always said my boys are at their very best when they’re sleeping!

That actually looks like a wonderful way to spend the night. Well, maybe with a few more inches of space.
I’m guessing you’re using the term “slept” (for yourself) loosely…
haha! I can so see this in my family too… hence why we won’t watch tv in bed. LOL

seriously – you crawled in there? I can’t sleep with three kids in my bed, I have no clue how you did it with 5!!

that picture is absolutely precious.
Amazing. I have a hard enough time with just one. If only they didn’t sleep sideways!

The question is…How much sleep did YOU get?
Twitter: mommyofamonster
June 8, 2010 at 8:28 pm
That happens when I sleep with my son…and there’s only one of him! That couldn’t have been a comfortable night!!
Did any of them end up moving off the bed? This picture is darling!
Bed hogs
But adorable ones at that…

Omigosh I think I’d weasel my way in the gaps and hunker down, too!
Adorable moment captured, Angie.
That is a nice family shot.
That’s not amount of space, even for little old you.

Too funny!!!
I just found your blog. I had to laugh out loud because I just wrote a blog about Wordless Wednesday and how no one seems to remain wordless. I am so pumped to be able to use words on Wednesday. So, when you check out my blog….scroll down and read my snarky comments about Wordless Wednesday. I think you will like it. Loved, loved, loved the photo! It reminded me of my life with four kids. They are all grown now and my husband and I have the bed to ourselves (unless you count the dogs who think they get to crawl up there too). That was TMI
haha. I don’t know how you slept. I have trouble with just one three-year-old. Somehow I end up on the very edge of my king-size bed when she shares it with me.
ha ha… poor thing… i think i’d have opted for one of their empty beds to sleep in!
Just look at that pile of cute kids!
That wouldn’t happen at my house because my kids know that the big bed is MINE.
How cute!! But, I would’ve slept on one of their beds.
Ah, how sweet it is to have all your babies snuggled up in your bed.

LOVE it! I’ve done that before with my son.
Twitter: mrsmarine
June 8, 2010 at 9:13 pm
How could you have possibly slept there??? OUCH!
Twitter: flyinggiggles
June 8, 2010 at 9:24 pm
That is too cute, a bit crowded, but still cute!
I probably would have slept on the couch.
As annoying as it might have seemed, it is really charming seeing them all curled up like that together. Some day they all won’t be in the same house and certainly not all in the same bed. How wonderful you could capture this moment.
Brian will so appreciate that pic! He is usually ready to take them right back to bed. Me? on the other hand, usually pulling back the covers for them but even that might have been too much for me…Are you sure you meant to use slept? Seems like the couch might have been a better spot. Next time join Jeff:)

June 8, 2010 at 9:29 pm
How sweet. I am officially not going to complain about my 2 kids hogging the bed anymore
I have a few pics like this… only not all the kids are mine! LOL!
If you only had a sliver, I’m thinking you didn’t get to sleep in then???
Twitter: debi9kids
June 8, 2010 at 9:34 pm
How cute & cozy!
However, I think I would’ve stayed on the couch too. OUCH, my back hurts just thinking about sleeping on that sliver.
ps Are you still having trouble viewing and commenting on my blog?

OMGoodness that is so cute!
Precious! This is a scenario I know well in my own home.
And before that…as a kid, I remember waking up crammed into Mom’s bed with a ton of my siblings. Snug!
Too cute!! Love the pic.
Happy Wednesday!

That is the cutest picture ever!!
that would drive me crazy….good luck with that!
love it!
I love it when ALL of us sleep in my bed. but with new born I don’t think we can do it now
Woo Hoo! Slumber party, hey move over… where do I sleep???? LOL
They look so cute!
Twitter: PrettyPinkMomma
June 8, 2010 at 10:54 pm
Oh my bed looks the same – minus a kid or two, lol! The worst is when they pee on my bed! What starts out as a nice gesture on my part turns into a lake in the middle of the bed. Not cool boys, not cool at all.
Oh, this is such a keeper. The best of WW I’ve seen so far. Thanks!
Such a cute picture….one you will cherish for many years too come. Except when you think about how uncomfortable you slept that night. You didn’t really sleep there did you? I would have crawled into one of their beds
Love Garrett’s legs tucked into his shirt too!
That is so cute!
Thanks for hosting!
did u get any sleep tho? and is one of the boys wearing a pillow under his jumper? so cute!

Too stinkin’ funny!! I have experienced many a night like yours… Consider yourself lucky to have it recorded in such a fabulous picture.
Too cute! I doubt that you were very comfortable, but it looks like the kids were.
Oh ,y, brave dad and cute sleepers.

Shouldn’t have thought there was much room for Jeff to come back too! LOL Cute pic!
Here’s mine – slightly different to the usual photo but I wanted so much to share this to everyone, it’s such an important book for women.
Please come and visit by clicking here!
Thank you!
That is seriously darling!
Aww, that’s such a sweet and cute pic but then again my reaction was “OUCH” after you pointed out where you were sleeping. I can’t imagine how your back, side, legs and arms must’ve felt the next day. The things we do and go through for our kids…
Happy Hump day chica!

LOL That’s a familiar scene. I do the same thing on Friday nights when my husband is working late. The girls and I have a movie night in my bed. Love it!
Twitter: RandomCoolChick
June 9, 2010 at 3:51 am
Oh that’s just way too funny! And they’re adorable! Did Jeff end up getting more sleep than you on the couch as opposed to that little sliver of space?
Twitter: biggreenpen
June 9, 2010 at 3:56 am
I love that pic! I don’t have enough kids to replicate it, but it is amazing to me how our room attracts our two like a magnet; we have three full baths but our DD must use our shower every night — usually right about the time I am heading that way!!
In my wordless, I share my friend Ann’s art of sumi-e (Chinese bamboo brush painting)!
At least you got that little sliver, right?
Twitter: 1momof5
June 9, 2010 at 3:59 am
I have that happen to me all the time. I move the kids who are small enough to move. So how was your night’s sleep?
So sweet!!

I love the legs tucked up into the shirt. But I’m betting you didn’t get a lot of sleep.

OMG – I LOVE this picture! Too funny. How did you ever sleep in that teeny tiny space!?!?
That picture is absolutely HILARIOUS! I don’t know how any of you got any sleep.

Nice! I have trouble when it’s just my three year old hopping in bed for the morning. I hope you have a king bed at least!
I’d have left them there and gone to sleep in the guest room. That may be the only time I’ve ever seen 5 kids in the same place without a big fight!
Such a cute picture! This reminds me of growing up and all of us siblings (9 total) would try to fit on our couch and eventually fall asleep there. Though, It may have just been 5-6 at one time!
Twitter: _MamaJules_
June 9, 2010 at 5:47 am
I don’t know how you do it!! Just one in bed with me kicking and squirming drives me nuts! Why can’t they stay in one position when they sleep?
Cute picture!
THIS PHOTO IS BEAUTIFUL! And that little space was a slice of heaven on earth. Surrounded by so much warm and fuzzy beauty.
Lucky lucky woman.
Add two big dogs and you have my bed, but so much love!

Oh my! They each have their space and look so comfortable although your space allotment looks a little tight and close to the edge for comfort
Totally precious…..from a mom of six!!! Enjoy, they grow so fast!!! Wonderful memories,

June 9, 2010 at 9:33 am
aww, i love it…
reminds me of a photo somewhere around here that was from when I was little. A few families must have all gone to an amusement park together and saved money by cramming all of the kids into one bed. We were all sunburnt and sleeping like we were dead. Kids can sleep anywhere!

My first time participating in Wordful Wednesday! Looks like I need to get here earlier next week—so many participants!
I love this photo — what a sweet moment! I’ve got to give you credit for clinging to that little sliver of space. More often than not, if my son climbs into bed with us halfway through the night, I wind up moving to his empty twin bed. It’s amazing how much space just my one child occupies in bed, I can’t imagine five!
Ack! My first attempt at linking up (#177) was an “oops.” I re-entered my link, please feel free to delete my first try.
Twitter: RobinTA
June 9, 2010 at 11:56 am
LOL. Not much room left in there, is there. My kids are old enough that they rarely end up in our bed these days.
Most of the time I don’t miss it.

Oh that looks so fun and cozy….well, for a moment anyway. I think I would have moved to one of their beds!
Wow…and I thought having just one of my kids in bed was tough! LOL!
LOL gotta love the family bed!! I’ve been known to get up and go get in one of THEIR beds since it’s empty!
