I also make the graphics for the Homeschool Lounge for Tiany. Now I want to go find you there and request to be your friend. :O)<BR/><BR/>I hope to get to know you better. Your parents and siblings are a HUGE inspiration to me.Sisterlisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09697215030563741501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1186839552215047802.post-61945232744141671532008-05-21T17:55:00.000-07:002008-05-21T17:55:00.000-07:00sure thanks!sure thanks!Grace Cartwright Aspinwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01571863480241670883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1186839552215047802.post-10521737483685178102008-05-21T11:38:00.000-07:002008-05-21T11:38:00.000-07:00Oh Analene, if I were closer I'd come over and wat...Oh Analene, if I were closer I'd come over and watch those "All Creatures" with you! Nathan's family introduced them to me long ago when we were still dating. So well done! Don't you just love the actor who does Sigfried?<BR/><BR/>And my heart is with you at bedtime. Five is way trickier than four for me so far! This week I plunked my rocker right next to the 18 month old's bed so I can boot him back in while I nurse Baby. And in between a million reminders to, "Shhh - it's sleeping time!" I try to read a chapter book to the bigger boys. (In my softest, soothingest, you-are-getting-very-sleepy voice!) Hang in there - they shower on their own. It can't be that much longer before they are tucking themselves in, and we'll be missing it so much! :)<BR/>-FaithAlterton Scottish Terriershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06531213830048556615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1186839552215047802.post-66834672586659887612008-05-21T09:17:00.000-07:002008-05-21T09:17:00.000-07:00Ten min. before I put them to bed I yell out... "I...Ten min. before I put them to bed I yell out... "If you need a drink of water or a bit to eat, get it now, its almost bedtime." (They have to ask what they can have for the snack, most of the time a piece of fruit)<BR/><BR/>Then no one is aloud to bed until they have brushed thier teeth and peed.<BR/><BR/>If they have to get up after they have climbed in for bed, they get a choice. Get up and have a conciquince, or stay in bed and no conciquince. All of thier needs should be completly taken care of before they get in the bed, so they should rarely have a justifiable reason to get up.<BR/><BR/>If I were you, with so many little ones, I would line your little ducks in a row in the kitchen and have them sit there quitely and wait while you take care of one childs needs at a time. Then do a chew-chew train walk to bedroom to change, then little ducks in a row again and march to the bathroom, have them sit in a row, while they wait for one child at a time to use the bathroom. <BR/><BR/>So, there is my idea.<BR/><BR/>Boy, reading back through it, I sure sound bossy. But I hope it helps, despite myself.<BR/><BR/>~H2homeschoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11027634507756063889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1186839552215047802.post-29904618792199416862008-05-21T08:56:00.000-07:002008-05-21T08:56:00.000-07:00That would certainly be hard to have Chris gone tr...That would certainly be hard to have Chris gone traveling. Seems I have been the one traveling with the kids lately, which can be difficult as well. I am going to San Antonio with the kiddos on Saturday to visit Jess and the gang there. It has been 3 years since we have been. Chris does not yet have much vacation time with the new job, so I will be going it alone. We are sure excited to go though. I think Jess and I will just sit and visit (in the heat) and watch the kids play all week!SarahJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02777140006422172686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1186839552215047802.post-80854022343207654882008-05-21T00:26:00.000-07:002008-05-21T00:26:00.000-07:00Praying you're two weeks with AJ gone goes well.

Two of my boys are too young to ask for those (well, one can, but he's still stuck in his crib), so we only have Judah with those. And, it still seems like a lot. I can't imagine when they're all doing it. Too funny!Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06930697708044170514noreply@blogger.com
