2 kids to sleep!

We had a family talk. The kids made a list of 7 of their favourite things. List taped to their bedroom doors. The deal is this. When it is bedtime, pj's, brush teeth, stories, 5 minutes each to soothe before sleep. Then STAY IN YOUR ROOMS! If you do not, you lose one of the treasured items on your list. If you do, stickers are added to your chart. 7 stickers can redeem a lost item.

So far, 2 nights, 2 kids, 4 stickers. No hassles.

YEAH!

The weekend looks good. Meeting a friend at the schoolyard tonight to play. Swimming lessons and Great-Grandma's tomorrow. 6 has a birthday party on Sunday - a really great kid from her class last year!

4 and I are working on a design for her Halloween costume. Yes, it is early - but finding time to sew is challenging at best. Both girls like to help sew - they pin and sew straight seams. 4 wants to be a super hero. A new super hero - Super K. So far, we need a spectacular cape, lots of sequins and are deciding on a skirt shape/length etc...She'll definitely be unique!

It's Friday. A long weekend ahead. Can't wait!
