BEDTIME

Not so smooth sailing at the Coxes tonight, we had 3 complete meltdowns after our dinner of tacos (I made), frozen mini pizzas (Nick), a large bowl of sugar cereal and one bite of a PB&J (Dylan), and ??? (Maddy). I was in no mood and just escorted them all gently to their bedrooms. I tried to be as gentle as I was angry, so I was VERY GENTLE.

Mike's pretending to be happy that all the kids are in bed, however dramatic getting them there was tonight.
This is as close as I dared get to Maddy, who got sent the earliest for sassing, or hitting, or whatever. I can't even remember what she did now. She did come out to brush her teeth and for the prayer, but I didn't even knock.... (ps don't my doors and hall look nice?) She lost computer time for the entire weekend. I'm sure she thinks she can wheedle out of it, but I'M SERIOUS.

Nevermind that Dylan was actually watching a cartoon IN HIS BED as I took this photo, he continued to cry because I told him that if he didn't get to BED NOW there would be no movie.

Nick got sent at 8:15 for not doing what he was asked. He lost his Friday computer time and went to bed super GROUCHY.

Pickles looks like he has a case of the grumps! Maybe he wants to borrow my Rip-Van Tent-Traah hat.
