On waking yesterday the kiddos asked if they had to dress to their shoes, clean their room and make their beds before getting breakfast like dad imposed on them the day before ( wah "even if it is 1ds’s birthday??" -- the answer was yes btw ) so I guess that it worked at least for now.  Dh of course told them that he was really sorry that they were hungry but this really isn't a new rule or something different -- it has always been this way and they took advantage of me so it will feel new and different until it becomes a habit again.

Pancakes in bed for oldest was a hit as well as his only present (so far).  All this kid would tell us that he wanted was the Message Bible.  We found it at a library book sale for .33c on Saturday and he is beyond thrilled and has already read it and stuffed it with his other Bible in his carrying case.  That is going to be a monster to lug around LOL

Well, the pancake making at 4 too early in the morning put me plum back to sleep and when I awoke dh and boys were gone to get present #2 -- bicycle tube for his tire and "will be back to go do something else soon" as the note said.  So it was good I napped:  Never under-rate sleep to turn bad to good LOL.

AND 3ds who entered the Reading Rainbow competition got a call that he received an Honorable Mention -- so he didn't place, and his book doesn't go on to nationals BUT he does get some fun prizes and he will get to go to the luncheon so I'm thrilled and thinking that I should nap more often to turn my days to REALLLY REALLLLLY GOOD!
