Last Thursday was my birthday and Mom watched the boys for us so that we could go out for a while. Since she was also going to watch them on Friday (Good Friday) she decided to just keep them overnight so that both her and the boys wouldn't have to get up so early Friday morning.
When I picked the boys up Friday about 5:30, they just looked tired. I know that Nathan will not take a nap when he is on the farm as he has to much to do, and Darren will sometimes take one.
I had invited my parents over for a fish fry that we were having along with our neighbors. I had also invited my sister, her husband and their kids. The neighbor kids were also over, so there was not a chance that I could get the kids to bed early. When Carla left about 10:00, I did manage to get the younger two to bed. Finally about midnight I forced Nathan to come in the house with me so that he would go to sleep. I bribed him by telling him that he could sleep in bed with me. He really didn't want to go in the house, but he knew that he did not have a choice. I tucked him into bed and went into the bathroom to get ready for bed. By the time I had come back out, he was already sleeping.
BONUS: All the kids slept in until at least 8:30-9:00 the next morning and Justin slept in to after 9:30! YEAH! No naps on Saturday afternoon so I knew that they would be ready for bed that night and I could play Easter Bunny with no interruptions. But that did not work out according to plan. (See below post)
