Arg. Three girls, age 7, 5 and 3 are running wild upstairs
My two daughters and their neighbor friend. It's the end of the day and they are all tired and running on fumes so every sound and movement is exagerrated giving daddy a big headache!

5. Believe it or not you will miss the bedlam
Enjoy, it’s gone too fast.

Also, check for injury to person and property every so often.

7. put them in bed
turn down the lights, give them flashlights and tell them they can have a flashlight party. If you think you can handle it, put on some girl teeny bopper music like Josie and the Pussycats, and tell them its a flashlight disco.

10. I think it is the day today. I posted earlier that my children were
steadily driving me insane...now my son is "in bed" and yet why do I hear little feet thumping around still??? Went to a friends house today, and same deal over there. I would like to think that the time change will keep them in bed an hour later tomorrow, but....we know better than that, don't we? I'm with you in spirit. ;)
