Bedtime routines into the trash!

Since we went on a trip with Grandma Sabin to Idaho and Washington the kids have had a difficult time going to bed at a regular time. The bedtime routine was back in order, at least for a little bit. Until we went with Daddy to Oregon and Idaho to visit the Dowdle's side. The bedtime routine went down hill when we were at Aunt Corinne's. They didn't want to sleep because they wanted to spend all of their time with their cousins.

In September we moved in with Grandma Sabin, which threw the routine totally in the trash. They were up late while we were moving. So I gave in and let them snuggle with Grandma until they fell asleep. So now the kids don't go to bed at a regular bedtime and wont stay in their beds. I want to scream in frustrations, but I made my bed and now I have to sleep in it.





James was extremely tired, so we made him lay down. He didn't want to take a nap, but did any way. He was rather cranky when daddy woke him up.

James and Emily are my children for sure. I was called Tiger when I was younger because I kept coming out when I was supposed to be going to sleep.

Last night Emily was exhausted, but determined not to sleep. I wanted to play on my new laptop so I ignored her. She must have thought that she was getting away with something. She climbed into Grandma's comfy chair, and not long later was out. She moves a lot in her sleep. So I had to take some pictures of her last position before I moved her to her bed.
