Yep...we started the bedtime rules last night...at least, I started the rules. The kids did not and neither did their dad! Jacob was having a bad night anyway...he hates puggles, but his mean mom pushes him in the door and leaves. I'm forcing him to learn about Jesus, by gosh! Then, he tried to slice me with his sword when we got home, so he got in big trouble and lost the sword for a week (or infinity...haven't decided). Then, had to go to his bed and go to sleep due to the new rules. Ava did fine, except a little whining about her tooth hurting (hadn't hurt all night...until time to lay down). Then, they both fell asleep till morning (after we listened to Jake scream, kick, and cry for approx. 30 min.).
We have our "holiday party" tomorrow night at Scott's house (Dr. Beckman). I'm sure it will b a great time. We had a pool party there this summer and was a blast. No kids allowed tomorrow night...
Hope tonight is a little easier rolling at bedtime. I'm not backing down! I really enjoyed watching Oprah and Dr. Phil last night all by myself in my bed.

Wow, sounds like the bedtime rule didn't go so bad! Way to go! :) Have fun at your party tomorrow night!
That's sweet that Jake says you are his girlfriend! :)
Thanks for the comment! You made me feel much better! I think we are going to have to stick to a set time for bed, and then I won't feel so bad for mommy & daddy time :) We sure can't be supermoms all the time!
I stink at bedtime! So I admire your accomplishments! and we also have a sword that has been put up for infinite! Griffin happen to find it the other day and He said I promise I won't hit anyone..well..it's still put away..with his "take, conquer, and destory" attitude it will have to wait until he grows into it! It's too much temptation for him to slay everything in his path!
