All I want for nighttime is four sleeping kids....

Some nights are easy.

Some nights are hard.

Right now, things are happening. I have a moment to sit at the computer (and I'm not working yet) and half the kids are asleep, one is wide awake, and one quarter is drifting off...

Tonight our three year old said (after being told to put pj's on. "It's o.k. mom, I'm ready for bed!" and was asleep within 5 min.

Our 6 year old read quietly in bed for a few minutes, and was asleep within a half hour.

Our 5 year old is wide awake reading books with the lamp on (But, she took a rare nap this afternoon, so this is explicable)

Our 1 year old is quite tired, but she doesnt' want to fall asleep. She finally took a nap today from 5 to 6, so, although she usually falls asleep around 7:30, it's an hour past bedtime and she wants up!

So, the BIG question is this: who will wake earliest tomorrow, and who will want to sleep in? We only have two weeks left before school dictates the morning wake up hour.
