12 plus hours of sleep

Yesterday afternoon the boys came in to get a snack, and I could tell that Darren was getting tired. Since it was about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, I didn't want him to take a nap that late in the day anymore. I asked the boys if they wanted to play with their squirt guns. Of course they both say yes and are raring to go again. Nathan asked me if they could squirt each other. I told them that since it is so nice out that they were allowed to squirt each other, but that Nathan had to stop if Darren told him to. They both would come in for periodic refills, and Nathan is barely damp while there was not a dry spot on Darren.

They come in for dinner around 6:00 and I ask them what they want for dinner. Nathan wants cereal and Darren wants pizza rolls. (Bruce went to a graduation party that we were both invited to but I stayed home with the boys because all Justin would want to do was crawl and I would have no fun chasing after him) After the second pizza roll, I can tell that Darren is getting tired. I go and get his pajamas. He is on his third pizza roll and I am afraid that he is going to fall off the chair, he is that tired. Luckily since he was so wet, it washed off most of the dirt he accumulated that day. I put his pajamas on and put him to bed at 6:15 with the fear that he would be up and ready to party at midnight. He slept through the night and he didn't really want to get out of bed this morning at 6:45. I wish bedtime was always this easy!
