♥ Oh the quiet...

It's 7:30 and the kids are already in bed and asleep! They were fighting, yelling, screaming, crying and just being naughty in general. So I shut off the TV... Turned into Drill Sgt Mommy and made them clean up the front room and then pick up the already cleaned bedrooms. Well except for Emma and Eliza. I still haven't finished cleaning their room. Tomorrow's big chore. It's 1/2 way done though! Sundays are hard with church starting at 1:00pm. I love the extra time that it gives me to get everyone ready unlike the 9:00am schedule however none of the kids get naps and are crazy tired and cranky by the time 6 o'clock hits! So tonight I couldn't handle it anymore (Joe's at a meeting) and to bed they went! It's so QUIET! I love it! All I can hear is my keyboard going click click... WONDERFUL!!! And now I'm off to read and enjoy the quiet night and hope that tomorrow is a good and calm day! :)

Wow. Quiet evenings...I love those. It's 9:00 here and we're still doing the "go to bed thing". I hate daylight savings!

Ah yes, I love the quiet! Tonight I felt like the kids went to bed an hour early with the time change. Have a HAPPY MONDAY!!

Thanks for stopping by my blog. It makes me happy when people return the favor. About your toilet. My guess is tennis ball or bar of soap. Those were the two things we had to take the toilet off for. Good luck let me know how it goes.

exactly how many months old are the twins and olivia? my three year old if he takes a nap wont go to bed until 11pm. so its no nap for him and crazy icky evenings for us. But he goes to be between 7:30 and 8. Kimber takes a nap sometimes (she wont be two until april) she goes to be by the same time. Evenings are nice though

I remember church that late! ugh! we go the same time all year every year 10 am {the benifits of living in the middle of NOWHERE only 1 ward in the building and it's the stake center!}
glad that you got some peace and quiet and time to read -- what you wanted to read! :)
