Sleeping arrangements? Is this weird?

When we moved to this house we bought a 4 bedroom knowing that eventually the boys would have separate rooms.  The twins still share a room and the singleton has own and I love having our guest room.  It's hard for us to travel with 3 kids and knowing people don't have to sleep on pull-out makes for more company.  My parent's live out-of-town, etc...

Anyway, since the twins moved to beds, bedtime has been a nightmare.  They used to go to bed at 7 and sleep until 7 and nap for 2 hours.  Since we moved to beds I am lucky if they go to bed before 9.  And naps are gone.  Connor would love to go to sleep most nights but every time he falls asleep Patrick goes over and wakes him up.  The only way I can get them to bed is if I just let them stay up or if I stand outside the door for an hour to make sure they don't get up.  Or as is the case now, DH falls asleep on the floor in between their beds.  I wouldn't care if they were just playing or reading but it's usually romper room.  If I try to take Patrick out so Connor can go to sleep, he freaks out that he is in there alone.  I can't win.

So I am thinking of moving Patrick into our singleton's room by himself and putting Brendan in with Connor.  They both seem to go to sleep.  Is this a weird arrangement?  Do I just give up and give up my guest room and give them all their own room?  If I do put Brendan in with Connor, do I move him to bed or try to keep him in the crib?

Sorry this got so long.  Thanks for your thoughts!

    we have no choice if we stay in this house- 2 of our boys have to share a room... for now it's the twins- but I have always thought that who knows- maybe someday the twins won't want to room together and Griffin will want to room with one of the twins... and i'm OK with that.

    whatever works :)

    I used to be Goldie_locks_5 but the new nest is so screwed up that I was forced to start over.

    Whatever works for you - I say go for it! It may take a few different scenarios to figure out what is best for your family but it will be worth it once everyone is getting a full night of sleep (and hubby isn't breaking his back sleeping on the floor!) My girls are 8 and 4 and chose to share a room. When they had separate rooms, one would end up in bed with the other so now they share a room. They sleep so much better in the same room. It's a good thing because the twins will be going into the spare bedroom when they arrive!
