Too funny :) At least they are happy. I had Princess Crabby Britches and the Whiny Pants Band and Captain Squirrel Bladder tonight.
Yes at least they are happy! They are adorable, and usually I am just now getting my little one to bed. No matter what I do he is a night owl. I love her singing.

Wow Jill, DD has quite the flair for the dramatic. Gets that from her dad, I s’pose?? lol
She is a nutcase! And, yes, so is he.
My sphincter clinched up when I saw the kids jumping around right next to the laptop. That’s a disaster waiting to happen. Extended warranty?

Yes. My poor, poor laptop is on its last leg. No wonder.
Oh my. Hope they go to sleep soon for ya.

I’m out of town but since they’re with my parents I assume it’s something similar. Since mine only sleep 9 hrs a night on average and I don’t relish getting up before 8am if I don’t have to (and since it’s summer and my kids are little, I rarely have to) they’re often not in bed until then anyway!

Hey, they’re wearing themselves out! (it’s a whole process) If you’d like a little proof that there is blissful (but brief *sigh*) moments in your future, pop over to my place and see what the Minions are up to! (Or, rather what they’re not up to, I guess!)
What just BROKE?? I did say brief, right?
*walking away from laptop muttering as I come up with a nefarious plan to ensure more quiet…)*

I would cry. Seriously.
Or put in some earplugs and rock in a corner. That’s way past the end of my acceptable parenting hours.
Of course, mine are waking up now for their second wind of torturing me – a mere 2 hours after falling asleep.
This is what Summer is all about! :) {Trust me, I had to give up on early bed time for this season of long days and short nights ~ thankfully, I love this time of year too much to wish for winter!}

They weren’t. My little guy took a late nap. Lily has no excuse!
That is just the cutest thing. My kids are out of school for the summer, so they get to stay up late too… and I have 5 kids – ages 5 months to 9 years. Just adorable. What time did they actually go to bed?
11. And they were up at 6. So not cool.
Omg….too cute! What the heck did you feed them for dinner crack?
Whatever they’re eating, I WANT SOME! I need it, to deal with my own kids….
Sarah recently posted..Claiming stickers under false pretences
No I will not trade you my “Must have my bottle of hot milk at 9pm sharp and then go to bed with my kiki or will scream house down’ bundle of joy.
Mine were both asleep in their bed.
They need to be for my sanity, and their safety! ;)
Where is your tranquilizer gun???
I love how she kept trying to twirl with him and he was like, “uhuh…ain’t gonna happen…I’m not tall enough.” Too funny!
Rebecca recently posted..Honest Scrap Award…
My daughter had to watch that three times. Laughing and dancing each time.
Carabee recently posted..Innocence
Hell no. Mine were asleep and so was I. Of course by 6:30 this morning we were all up and getting ready for work and daycare so mine have to go to bed early. If we could stay home and sleep in then I wouldn’t mind.
Jennifer recently posted..How not to impress your boss
So funny. Where was Ben during all that fun? sleeping? I was asleep by 9pm last night :-)
LOL! Those kids have some energy! They are rock stars. :)
I would have taken this last night instead of what my little monster was doing. For an hour and 15 minutes, he stood in his crib crying and sobbing for his “mama” in the most heart breaking voice! :( He finally settled down around 11 pm and went to sleep, but it was sad and frustrating.
Jessica recently posted..Father’s Day Gift
OMG They were CRACKIN ME *UP*!!!! That was too precious. Seriously. I love how you could have your lovely MacBook just sitting there and it didn’t get touched. Mine would have been on the floor.
They are truly beautiful, Jill!
BlissfulBabe recently posted..It’s Late
My kids are sound asleep at 10:30, but at 5:30 a.m.., they’re doing exactly the same thing. Not sure which is worse.
TheKitchenWitch recently posted..Veg-Head Tuesday: The Spectacular Shroom
How about both? That’s usually the case here.
LOL I love how the baby just falls off the couch (ottoman?) and disappears. I was like, “Where’d he go?”. Your daughter cracks me up.
I can say that without a doubt, 6 nights out of 7, my kids are sawing logs at 10:30 p.m. And so am I! ;-)
Kmama recently posted..Monday Minute: 6/14/10
Too funny! Did they at least sleep in for you?
10:30 is when my son finally falls asleep Until then he’s playing with Transformers and getting all upset because I won’t help him transform them.
Evonne @ All You Need is Love recently posted..Catastrophes Avoided
NO!!!! They were up at 6!!!!
BWAHAHAHA!!!!
“CUZ WE ARE THE PEOPLE!!!!!!!”
ps- how did they not crush that laptop that was sitting there, open the entire time?!?!?
it’s Summer! mine roam free on the range until they drop where ever they stopped and pass out.
I was at the cinema with the girls last night, so the kids were left in the care of OH. It’s pretty much odds on that a very similar evening was had at my house, only with ridiculously inappropriate food-stuffs!
Mine burn the candle at both ends too. It makes me crazy! I am not one of those moms who can put their kids to bed at 7 because they are so pooped and then say they actually sleep later when they go to bed earlier. I think they must give their kids Ambien and I wish I could find some for kids because my brood leaks hyperactivity even after hours at the pool, playground, with friends…I am SO tired! I am with some other commenters my kids do not get any morethan 9 or 10 hours of sleep max and I try! Hubs and I have fallen asleep on the floor after reading books while the kids continued to jump around and play cds in Sophia’s room.
So – how about we get a hotel room and leave them all with Jeff and Ross? WooHoo! Girls night off!
Brittany at Mommy Words recently posted..The Kids Milked Me
Haha HILARIOUS! Not so hilarious for you at 10:30 at night. I am going to wish I didn’t say hilarious aren’t I? Ok, I take it back ;-)
Nicole recently posted..Sam Chats About New Baby Daughter
Hilarity!!! Dido over at our house. My hubs works late so when it’s summer he thinks “why not let the kids stay up till when ever o’clock”. Dear Hubs: B/c I have to get up for work at 5 AM and I’m Mommed out by 10:30..Seriously need a moment to not have any one call my name… I finally told him that keeping the kids up that late is squashing any chance of sex..I bet they will be tucked in by 8:30 tonight ;)
angryworkingmom recently posted..Guest Post: The Other Side of the Coin. Yes, Now I Work From Home – as a stay-at-home mom
WOW……… I would have pulled my hair out, as I NEED my night time for a sanity re-check.
But watching this all I could think about is why why why do we lose the ability to just be so young and silly????
They’re having so much fun! Oh to have not a care in the world again *sigh*
Oh, and mine gets a bottle of vodka @ 6.30pm so she is passed out for the rest of the night an hour later hahahahahaha! EEKS.
Actually my monkey loves her sleep so she walks to her room around 7ish most nights saying “its bedtime”. Yep sure you did not want to hear that. Sorry.
msdilemma recently posted..YOU can’t handle the truth
Hahaha, hadn’t seen this post.
Sorry – my son is sleeping at 10:30! :D Well, now that it’s summer vacations I’m letting him go to bed at 11 – sometimes, if we are watching something really nice on the tv together (like science channel, animal planet, and alikes).
Trust me: you’ll get there! ;) Hehe. You’re so funny.
