Bedtime Boot Camp

[billroper]

Uncle jeff_duntemann and Aunt Carol will be staying with Katie and Julie while daisy_knotwise and I head off to OVFF next week. Of course, Uncle Jeff and Aunt Carol go to bed much earlier than Gretchen and I do. Much earlier, in fact, than Katie and Julie do. This could lead to a Bad Thing^TM.

Accordingly, we have begun Bedtime Boot Camp as of today. Both girls are now in their room, hypothetically in their beds, with the lights out. We have already heard the mournful strains of the harmonica from one of the prisoners -- we presume Katie -- as it is Much Too Early To Be In Bed.

We disagree. :)

Good luck with the Bedtime Boot Camp.

Getting them up early may help.

Uncle Jeff and Aunt Carol intend to take their Manic Pills that weekend, and we're gonna do lots of very active things with the girls. Think park, kites, gliders, and a species of chase-around-in-circles game I'm devising involving one or more beachlike balls, kind of like dog soccer without dogs. (If the dogs behave they may join in, though not at the park.) We may also try to teach the girls to dance, and whether they learn or not is unimportant. (Carol is very good at dance. I can fake it.) The hope is that we all fall into bed exhausted at 10:00 PM and sleep until 6. Let's just say that Uncle Jeff could certainly use the exercise.

And if we don't get to bed until 11:00, well, it's not fatal.
