Bedtime By Themselves

Last night BJ had to go back to work at 8:30pm and I was beyond tired (couldn't sleep the night before because of the awesome sound of the rain.) Anyway, when BJ left for work at 8:15 I told the kids we were brushing teeth and going to bed. Somehow they managed to figure out it wasn't 8:30 yet and called me on it. I told them "That's fine. Let's get ready, brush our teeth, and then I'm going to bed. If you want to stay up until 8:30 it's fine, but you're going to have to turn out all the lights and tuck yourselves in."

Holy smokes did they think that was cool! Their giggles were so cute as they were playing out front while I was in bed (simply in bed - light was still on and I certainly wasn't sleeping!)

And guess what? When I told them it was 8:30 they ran around and turned off all the lights and went to bed. It was so cute!
