Bella has one bad habit, she doesn't know when to quit playing, and go to sleep. She will go get a toy, usual a mayonnaise ring, and bring it up on the bed. She'll play with it, pouncing around on both of us, and eventually push it into one of our hands. She wants either of us to throw it, so she can bound off of the bed and fetch it back. Our solution to get her to settle down is to take the ring, and hide it under a pillow. Sometimes I hide it, sometimes Sugar does. No ring, no fetch, go to sleep.
Of course, she usually just goes and gets another toy, and we repeat the process of taking it away, and hiding it. Usually two times is enough, she gives up, curls up next to one of us and goes to sleep, problem solved. Last night, I hid two rings, and a "puff". It's a little yarn ball toy she likes. I vaguely remember Sugar moving around, and petting Bella. This morning, after Sugar left and I made the bed, I moved the pillows and guess what I found?
Three mayonnaise rings, the puff, a mouse, and an empty Carmex tube she dug out of the bathroom trashcan. All were equally distributed under both of our pillows.
All three of us are tired today, too...

Maybe when all the toys in the house are under the pillows she will get it? I think you both just need to stay home all day and play with her till she is tired, then maybe she will go to sleep at night ! (rofl)She gets board sitting around all day and I guess Scooter isn't into playing with her so she is just waiting for you to come home and play..poor neglected baby 
I wake every morning to see Tanks big paws under the door trying to play with me
