I really want an early night tonight, busy day tomorrow.
Still waiting for ds to sleep so I can put presents out, I nearly got caught earlier, he came down when I was drinking Santa's milk:eek:
He never sleeps the last couple of nights its been after 1pm, I have been in bed and probably asleep before him, can't do that tonight I don't trust myself to get up again to leave presents out!

Just 'trying' to put my two (DS#1 is 13, DS#2 is 9) to bed now...
I'm hoping they'll give me a chance for a lie in tomorrow morning (til - I hope- 9am) as I had a cracking migraine (caused by lack of sleep) this morning.
prezzies are in the car just waiting for them to get to sleep and I can put them under the tree...
might have to leave it to HWTHMBO when he comes back from walking the dorgs.just in case you need to know:

My were asleep by 9 which is late for them....carrot nibbled, cider drunk and mince pie bitten. All good.
I LOVE HWTHMBO!! Took a bit of working out but very clever“Listen earnestly to anything your children want to tell you, no matter what.

hes 6, I tried saying he had to sleep otherwise he would miss his slot! but he got really stressed by it, saying he was trying but couldn't sleep
We tried tracking Santa earlier but unfortunately its not working on my pc, same its fun we did it last year.0 -
How about putting something like this http://www.storynory.com on for him so he can settle down, listen to a christmas story and at least drift off.
Good luck and have a wonderful day tomorrow.“Listen earnestly to anything your children want to tell you, no matter what.

Make sure you lock up tight! My lovely oh was the last one to go out this morning. Locked the front door but left the bathroom window wide open for Mr Burglar. ;0(
lucky for him, 0 was stolen.The secret to success is making very small, yet constant changes.:)0 -
My LO suddenly got all scared about Rudolph coming into her room and was in floods of tears. Had to tell her that he waits on the roof.
Mince pie and glass of rum duly drunk by OH - but he seems less keen to have a nibble on the carrott!!!We Made-it-3 on 28/01/11 with birth of our gorgeous DD.0 -
