Almost Morning?

We finished our little bedtime routine and Troy had just gotten home from work--so the kids were of course excited to see him. We let them sit on the couch and watch TV with Dad for a little bit---they LOVE doing that---silly kids!!!

9:00 came around and I got them all tucked into bed--the boys were exhausted--they went straight to sleep, Emily did as well--YEAH!! Kara, on the other hand, had a good nap this afternoon--so she wasn't as tired.

I heard her in her room fiddling around-I was feeding Brooke and Troy was outside. She had been in bed for about 20 minutes--it was 9:25p.m.--I then heard this small voice, "Mom!" called Kara. I walked back to her room and she says, "Mom, is nighttime almost over--I am done!?" I then had to break the news to her and say no--she still had to go to sleep.

Needless to say, Kara was less than impressed--she wanted to get up!! Luckily, she is sleeping soundly now--ya right-she is 'NOT' tired!! She is ONE SILLY GIRL!!

That is so cute....we have had those very same conversations with a few of our kids - especially Alyssa! Maybe Kara and Alyssa need a sleepover! :)

That is really funny! Can you blame the girl though? Sometimes I wish morning was almost here too! But usually that's because my kids are keeping me up! Anyway, I think she's a sweetie!
