My plan was to cash in on the short days by feeding them dinner at 5:00 and starting a Star Wars movie by 5:45. They all love Star Wars and decided on Star Wars 3. After 20 minutes, each child except Rebekah had became bored and disappeared into the basement to play. The boys came back up... Rebekah went down to hang with Nadia. We decided to put on Alvin and the Chipmonks. They all stayed for most of that. Finally, after having a cup of hot chocolate, we watched The Grinch.
Around 8:30, all kids brushed teeth and went to the appropriate bedroom. Todd and made sure they were all situated and retired downstairs. I made one trip up and then stood in the hall to make sure there was no "visiting". Nadia was clearly exhausted and had begun to rock herself to sleep on the floor (she wanted to sleep on the floor). After about 5 minutes Rebekah and Nadia were out. Nathaniel and Noah continued to "go to sleep" with bumps and giggles and a couple Dad visits up until 10:30-11:00.
