An Early Start!

It was too much to hope for.... The grandchildren were told at bedtime, that they could get up to use the washroom, but otherwise were to stay in their rooms until Grandpa left for the barn at 6:45. The girls are still sleeping (smart girls), but the whispering? started in the boys room by 5:30 AM. At 6:20, they peeked out, and I shooed them back into their room. They were waiting at their door for grandpa to leave. Now they are playing quietly (for them) with the duplos. It's going to be a long day!

The two youngest girls are still asleep. The playing is getting steadily louder. As soon as the last two get up it will be time to make oatmeal.

I wouldn't be surprised if you end up chasing after the boys a lot .... so what kind of trouble do the girls get into?

Sounds like it will be a full day for you...hope the boys tone it down a little and the girls go easy on you. Try to have a great day though.

We had a great day. Everybody went to bed on time. This morning they slept much longer. Of course, thus morning I was prepared...they would all need to be bathed and need to pack as well as have breakfast before church. Now we have about 30 minutes to relax.

When I was young and got shipped off to stay at my grandparents' place, I never slept that well and would wake much sooner then I should have. Hopefully you'll all enjoy a little quiet (nap) time this afternoon.

I did have sleepovers with my grandparents. The entire family went to visit three times. We were usually so exhausted by the time we were there,msleeping just happened.

From what I remember with kids, some days are EXTREMELY long when they are a bunch of them together.

I had them outside for an hour and a half. The sun was supposed to shine...but we haven't seen it.
