The best part of the day!

Bedtime! It evokes either utter frustration or pure bliss...On ML Drive it's both! This is the time in the day when you've had it and are longing to crawl into bed yourself...if you're like me however, you still have to do dishes, there's a couch full of clean laundry waiting to be folded, at least 3 more loads to still get into the washer, lunches to be made for the next day, and I could go on forever...Somewhere in here it might be nice to catch up with hubby and of course the dog needs to be dealt with...Harry, who we had to keep because our eldest fell in love with him. We had an offer to get him off our hands so a friends beagle wouldn't be lonely, but what we do for those sweet faces who beg to keep their furry friends near and dear-ugh...Anyway, enough of the dog...on to the the last 1/2 mile of the marathon...
"Did you get your washcloth and towel?"
"No...Is Daddy giving us a bath?"
"Yes, get in the tub..." I am trying to get something accomplished...I must admit I adore hearing the girls squeal with delight and singing crazy made up songs with my husband.
"Kat?? Charlotte's done..."
My youngest comes out of the bathroom yelling, "NAKED BABY!"
It's my job to dry them off, lotion them up, and get them into jammies. One munchkin down and one to go... Bella's next...she is notorious for naked booty dances...
On to getting teeth brushed, stories read, prayers said, and...."wait I have to go potty...." & "sippy peas wif ice"
"Cricket, do you have Woof and your purple murple?"
"Bella, do you have your big bunny and greenie zucchini?"
Then, the best part of the day..."I love you's" are said, hugs and kisses are given, and don't forget the Do do dos! These are eskimo kisses (rubbing noses) and saying the words, "Do, do, do." What your kids come up with! Sometimes this must be done multiple times and you think they will never go to bed, but I wouldn't trade these night-night traditions for the world!
