We have had some attitude issues since school got out! I think they are a bit sleep deprived, and schedule deprived?? That is all about to change. Starting last night I put the kids to bed early (8pm is early compared to the 12-1am bedtimes that have been happening lately). It went ok last night, they were mostly asleep by 9:30. I got them up at 9am (ok... fine thanks to the neighbor boy who rang the door bell)to do some summer school things, then morning chores, and now they are happily playing, for the moment......yesturday however was the pivital point for me though. I barely made it to church (20 min. late). After classes while trying to find a good seat in the sacrament room Evan was filling me in on how bad Sam was in Sunday class. Cody found a whole empty bench, the long ones. Except in the middle :0/ I prefer the back, less people to anoy. We hadn't even started the first song when Whyett started with what I knew would be a string of fits. About 10 fits later, Sam smacking the back of a ladys head, various ins and outs for bathroom, and drinks, and a couple of fights from the older boys it was finally over. I escaped as fast as I could, and vowed to get them on a schedule!! We will see how it goes.

Poor Ben is also on a schedule after being too tired to attend church on Sunday. He now goes to Ben at 8 (but not to sleep til waaaaay later) and has been trying to wake up bright eyed and bushy tailed so he can talk me out of this scheme. Oh and his Primary teacher threatened to come over and get him - greeting him with a big bright red lipstick kiss on the forehead!
