So ...
...this is what life is like when your kids stop taking naps. I always wondered when this day would come and what it would look like. Over the summer the late bed times (9 ... sometimes 10) weren't a problem. In the summer you don't eat dinner until 8 anyway, so 9 or 10 doesn't seem too bad. Then comes day-light-savings, otherwise known as -- moms going crazy with their kids in the house, in the dark from 5 until bed time : ) Anyways ... the naps were causing painful bedtime routines ... too many empty threats to "xy &z, if you don't ab&c RIGHT NOW!" So, no more naps for the girls. The day is a little longer. Although I have the kids watch a show for about 1 hr in the middle of the day so I can get a little break. But you wanna know something fabulous? It is 7:35 pm and the house is quiet and peaceful. I am thinking this is going to be o.k.

so glad you're surviving the time change. We are faring, although I am not sure well. Caleb and Noah are still getting up before 6am, usually just about the time I put Ezra back to sleep after a feeding. Grumpy mommy prefers 7 pm or so to be "getting dark" time. Ah, change. Just have to keep my eyes on the good things... fires to keep warm, tea and hot chocolate, cozy sweaters...=)
Hurray for quiet!
Naps aren't always what they're cracked up to be. My kids aren't big nappers, but they sure do sleep good at night!
oh my what a decison. Abby is getting there. The naps are getting fewer and farther between but she still needs her downtime. I have been going stir crazy with it dark at 5 and being inside. What a long evening it makes!
