After a Christmas Eve with family where they were all up way past their usual bedtime, bouncing off the walls with excitement. Then a late night for us cleaning the feast and doing Santa’s work. This morning Thing 1 led the way, up at the crack of dawn, for a morning full of presents and candy (only on Christmas morning). The afternoon brought no naps and tantrums.
All leading up to now – the big payoff. 7:55pm and all four kids are quiet in bed. Do you hear that sound? Me neither, it’s quiet. Except for
maybe the crack of another bottle of wine.
There is a winter storm warning for tomorrow. A possible Nor’easter. Which means tomorrow has the chance for 4 soon to be very well rested kids to be trapped inside the house again.
Better enjoy this while I can. Crack that wine.
