"Mommy, I don't need a nap"

I'll admit it. Sometimes I bribe my kids. Today's bribe was if they would lie down and take a little nap, they could go to the 'bouncy place'. Mmmmm Hmmmmm, the bouncy place with the firetruck slide, that's the one. We had the conversation that they would nap and then we could go. An hour and a half went by and still no nap (playing, jumping and laughing in their room, but no nap). Although Ben tried to tell me he napped.

Mommy comes into the room : "I guess since you didn't want to take a nap, you really didn't want to go to the bouncy place"
Ben: "Mommy, I was asleep.....but I woke up"

Riiiiiiiight!

Then Jake chimed in: "Mommy I want to go to the bouncy place and slide on the firetruck"
Mommy: "Alright Jake, will you take a nap?"
Jake: "yep"
Jake immediately goes to his bed and falls asleep.
Ben: "Mommy, I don't need to go the bouncy place, I'm not going to take a ni-ni"
Mommy: "That's fine Ben, but you will have to stay home with Jackson while Mommy and Jake go" (one of those false threats that Erik warns me not to make)

Ben: "Mommy, I will just stay home with Jackson and watch Little Einsteins"
Mommy: CRAP!!!..."fine Ben, but you will have to sit on the couch for some quiet time"
Five minutes later.....here is Ben
