Ave you got them to sleep yet?

[cushionpad]

2yr old is down Dh is just putting DS 6 yrs down. They are so excited, not good sleepers usually, so god knows whats gonna happen, just thinking about when its safe to do the santa drop. Someone could burst into lounge any min. Its fun isnt it.

3.5 year old DS is down, DD isn't at nearly 6 but she never goes to sleep before 9 anyway.

We're just finishing watching Narnia, then it's bedtime. For both of us prob, I'm knackered!

Well, they are all down. Asleep? Thats a different story!!

One asleep (3), one pretending (6), one latched on and eyes shut (5 months). Although it would be a very unexpected Christmas surprise if they all stay asleep til morning!

Not even attempted with 9y DD yet. A little til bedtime yet.

No!

(mine are 18, 16, 14 and 10 I think I'll be in bed first!)

4 Year old is down, 8 year old is watching Sky Sports News. Very festive.

3yo asleep and 6yo pretending to be asleep!

dc's 2,3,4 in bed but not asleep, dd1 watching the end of a film, which looks almost over, then all lights will go off upstairs via the fuse box so no switching them back on. i would like to be in bed before midnight unlike last year where is was the early hours

2 and 4 year olds asleep here.

How long for is anyone's guess.

1 year old dd is asleep, she is teething so maybe a rough night!
Ds is 3.6 and has just found a secret gift in our post box from the elves so has decided to get all his Thomas the tank track out

6 years and asleep for the last half an hour!

One in bed, one not yet.

No, 3.11yo is awake, arsing about and getting on my last nerve. Am trying to stay calm but she's just scattered FC's cup of tea, Rudolph's water etc all over the living room...

All 3 in bed.

Only the youngest ds (2) is asleep.

Tentatively yes, not heard 2.7 Dd in the last 20 mins so here is hoping!

DS 12 yo DD 9.6 yo

Not a Cats Chance !

DS is watching Merlin (last one)
DD prancing about in her new Christmas PJs.

We went to park after lunch then they had their Hampers.
Now tucking into our late night buffet.

May resort to Bribery/Threats/Sedatives

nearly 3, 5 and nearly 7 and no, they aren't within an asses roar of being asleep.

As of this moment they're not even showered, my livig room is a tip, no refreshments for Santa, dishes need doing, and a million other things I should have done earlier

5yo DD1 surprised us by going at 8pm!

DD2 (2.9) is finally on her way after an hour long tired tantrum.

DD3 (newborn) has been bfing and sleeping on and off for an hour.

Am amazed - I've never been kicked out of dd1's room at bedtime before (she's 4), but I was tonight. No arsing around, she wants to sleep so FC can come! Excellent!

Her 2 yr old sister took a little longer though... parting shot was, "we don't have a chimney mummy". Hmmm.

All down, presents wrapped, food out for Santa, beer in hand [smug] (why haven't we got a smug and a judgy smiley by the way, seems a pre-requisite on MN).

Yep! I even had a little doze...

Yup, DD's 8 and 6 both tucked up!

Nope. 2yr old in bed playing with bricks. 5yr old having stories from Granny. Not anywhere near safe to bring stuff in from car.
