When we got home from vacation, Doug and I decided that since school starts in a week and a half we were going to institute early bed times so that the kids could recover from vacation and get ready for school. Great idea! Wrong!
Ever since we said, "You are going to bed on time," we have had more opportunities to go out than ever before. Baseball games, dinner parties, late night neighborhood chats and so on. I think my kids are more tired this weekend than they were last weekend when we declared the bedtime rule. Argh!!!
So, bed time starts tonight! My 11 year-old would say, "Whatever!"
I've got a good handle on my little guys bed time...7:30-8:00...seems to work well for them. It's the older two that have me a little confused. What is a good bed time for a 6th grader? He will be getting up at 6:45 in the morning. Any ideas?
We are off to Emily's first soccer game...I'd take pictures if I could find my camera, but then again I'd be posting about vacation if I could have found my camera!

Bedtime is when I say it is. We did 7:45 for the littles and 8:00 for Caro last night as she was sleeping off a hangover from the Brad Paisley concert. Her school bedtime will be 8:30 lights out til unless I change my mind!
Booooooooo! Find that camera!
Bedtime? No clue. Yours get up really early! Or. We sleep really late! LOL
