Bedtime at our house

Okay, I don't know about you, but I like my sleep. When we put the kids to bed this is typically what we find when we go and check on them . . .

Here we find Zack reading his lighthouse book

that he got for his birthday.

Mackenzie's room is lit by Christmas lights all

over her ceiling. I couldn't sleep either, but she

always finds something to do at bedtime other

than going to sleep. This night I caught her

reading . . . we love it when we catch the kids

reading.

Okay, Cassie has her own room; however, she

loves to sleep in her sister's room (now if they

were sharing a room, all we'd here are complaints).

She loves to read, too when she goes to bed.

Finally, after about half an hour, they were all

asleep. Which is better than some nights. Some

times when I go to bed a couple hours later,

Mackenzie will still be playing or drawing. It

wouldn't be so bad, but it makes the morning

rough when it's time to wake up. I guess that's

one of many perks to homeschooling, if it takes

them an hour to get out of bed then they won't

miss the bus or be late.
