2. Blackout curtains are imperative. Kids will go to bed at 7pm in the summer if their room is dark enough.
3. Justin Beiber's album isn't half bad once you get used to it and/or hear it every single day for 9 weeks straight. Yes I just admitted that.
4. Colgate Watermelon toothpaste is the way to go. Yes it's green and isn't Tom's, but the kids love it and won't fight you about brushing teeth.
5. Bunkbeds are a horrible idea. Enough said.
6. Caillou has possibly the most annoying voice ever heard in the history of annoying voices. And kids love that show. Get earplugs or never introduce the kids to the show!
7. Glitter is fun but can become a horrid mess in a matter of minutes. And by horrid mess I mean still finding it stuck to my feet and in my hair 2 weeks later...
8. Sugar highs do exist. I don't care what "research" shows.
9. High Fructose Corn Syrup is the devil and shall not be given to children (or adults either for that matter!). See above.
10. Putting kids to bed late so they sleep in doesn't work. They wake up at the same time no matter what time they go to bed. Who knew?
11. Hearing "uh oh" from the bathroom is NEVER a good sign.
12. "I accidentally forgot all the rules and punched my sister" is a very common statement from a 4-year-old.
13. Pancakes for dinner never get old.
14. Camp counselors do not actually reapply sunscreen on kids without prior written consent. Wow.
15. Gum in the mouth of a 4-year-old = gum in the hair of the 4-year-old = screaming tantrum while cutting gum out of hair = bald spot on 4-year-old.
16. Avoid giving gum to children under 6.
17. Always carry snacks in bag. Always carry snacks in bag. Always carry snacks in bag.
18. Bringing the ipad in the car always turns into more of a nightmare than it is helpful. Unless you have an ipad for each kid.
19. TV is what helps me have a peaceful shower in the morning.
20. I am definitely NOT having 4 kids. 2 maybe. MAYBE.
