Bedtime

As great as the kids are, being a parent is hard at times.  The past couple of mornings, they’ve woken up around 5am.  Thankfully Nikki and I took turns getting up with them but those early mornings are a real killer.  We do have blinds in their bedrooms but unfortunately they’re not blackouts.  We have a carpenter coming to refit original style shutters to our bedroom windows but that won’t happen until mid-June, when Nikki and the kids are away in Australia.  Until then, I guess we’ll have to get to bed early and prepare ourselves for the early starts.

We really need these guys to sleep for longer in order to preserve our own sanity!
