Why I'm A SUCKA!

Here's my two youngest kids the other night. Just an average weeknight.
Aren't they cute? All snuggled in, popcorn and pretzels in hand, movie in Sophies little 1980 VHS/TV combo..

..at 11:30 PM.
Yeah. How did THAT happen? Oh. It happened cause Sophie had slept in that day and "wasn't tired", and Bo snuck up out of his own bed to talk about a random thought on the alphabet.. or to point out some week old scab.. and happened upon Sophie, still awake and being entertained by some form of Disney.. and just crawled up there with his little sister, all precious-like. They were so giddy and pleased to be up, together, so late.. what was I to do?
Offer snacks, ofcourse.
Sneaky little adorable faces that know how to work it, plus one sucker-of-a-mother.. equals party in bed.. til' midnight.

Hey, we have parties like that a lot around here. I've given up since I'm surrounded by night owls. Very cute brother sister moment. How could you spoil it by being the mean mom?

Good for you, That is the kind if mom my mom was and I loved it.. To bad I'm not like that!! But my mom still is with the grandkids!

Party on! We often get sucked in by movies and snacks...at what point do I become the strict mom that diligently heeds bedtimes for children? I don't have the energy at night...

Was anxious to see the post that followed that title :) Cute night at the Rees house--I'm more apt to let my kids break the rules if they are doing it sweetly, together.

It's always hard to say no when they are being good. Coopers favorite trick is the say mom I have a secret, I love you, in the middle of him getting in trouble.
