So most nights in our house are pretty much the same, we like to keep the same routine but some nights we just have to break the monotony of the same thing night after night. Kids in general are pretty adaptable to change (minus last Saturday for us!)
Steve usually picks up Presley on his way home from work and starts to get dinner ready. I pick up Piper and get home between 5:15 and 5:30. Then we eat between 5:30 and 6.
Then depending on how they are acting or the weather, Steve either takes then outside or downstairs to play while I clean up and take a couple minutes to get things organized (start laundry, put away laundry that has been sitting in baskets for nights on end, pay bills....whatever). Then I join them in playing and hang out until about 7, when it is bathtime!
Bathtime is followed by quiet time with milk for Piper and fruit with a quick cartoon for Presley. In a perfect world, both girls are in bed by 8 and sleep by 8:15! :)
They probably could go to bed earlier, but that damn sun! Once fall comes and the sun sets earlier, we might move this back to 7:30....which seems so early but we wake them up by 6:30 during the week and both girls DO NOT want to wake up in the mornings! And I can't blame them!
