Bedtime for the kids has always been a sacred one at our house. They go to bed about the same time each night and early compared to most. But lately we've been a little lax. Sometimes you need to pretend that they aren't supposed to be in bed or you will miss some pretty great moments. And besides, keeping them out late gives me that feeling like skipping class in high school, or forging passes to get out of at test. Not that I ever did those things, but I am sure that this type of rule breaking gives a similar feel......
I wouldn't want to miss any of it.
Like these adorable faces, laughing hysterically and flying at me at many miles per hour-
Or the chance to make memories with my Dad at his first rodeo-
Or listening to Ella tell Grandpa EXACTLY what was going to happen so that he wouldn't be surprised-
And I wouldn't want to miss out on moments like these-
Even when they are crabby and tired the next day, it is still worth the memories.
I hope this means you'll keep them up late when we all meet up ;)
