Wish the DCs would go to SLEEP so Santa can visit..

[ampere]

Sigh. I need to go to bed as tomorrow will be mayhem BUT we can't cos DS1 (10) is STILL shuffling around in bed!

I know the feeling
my 10 yr old is still awake too... was hoping to set the wii up tonight but am now far too pissed tired

Its def harder as they get older isn't it.

maybe go in and threaten to read to him til he drops off!

or give up, let him get up for half an hour or so and try again.

My 8 year old was still awake half an hour ago. Will go and check again in a mo.

my 11 yr old is still awake and ds2 who is 2 went into a lovely sleep at 8.30 and is now wide awake!!!!

I feel your pain. I have 2 awake, one asleep. I am soo tired and cant wait to go to bed. It will be hours before they settle, they are so excited.

oh i so want them to go to sleep so i can have a large morgans spice cup of coffee

mine has had an on off night of sleep, culminating in being terrified at noises inher room about 45m ins ago.

sigh

She's asleep now, BUT I daren't yet!

All three awake now

...

awww Bunny i feel for you!!!

DS2 is currently bouncing off the walls

oh god bunny!

I was just thinking of grabbing the stocking, when she yelled out. I do believe she is only having light sleep tonight. HOW, she's bloody knackered?

They are so excited, I cant get cross with them but I really want to do the Santa stuff tonight. Cant risk setting an early alarm as they will all be up at about 4.30 am. Will be snoozing face down in the turkey tomorrow after a few drinks.

mine were nearly asleep until i woke all the dogs up by inflating an 8ft snowman on the front lawn! they are all barking like mad

My Mum made our stockings and she put bells on them so I have to wait till dcs are really deeply asleep before I can risk moving the bloody stockings to stuff them. Why in Gods name did she use bells???

pmsl 8ft snowman and barking dogs!

in this house we have one pressie from santa and he leaves it by the fireplace, next to the stocking

much easier

i have a sackload of crinkly paper to transfer forma black bin liner into a felt pillowcase type thing.

it Should be a game on the Cube

the 8ft snowman sounds wicked!!!

stockings at end of bed here. I think next year they sill be by the fireplace downstairs!

DD is asleep but I know if I venture into her room she will wake, and as she usually wakes at 3am stockin is going to be left downstairs.

Ds2 and ds3 are asleep, but ds1 has only just prised himself off msn and headed for his pit. Dh, however, is snoring in the front room.

ggirl - exactly the same here, all done now

phew

Happy Christmas everyone

Am impressed that there are 10 yr olds who still believe in FC. Ds is 5 and, from various comments he has made this year, I reckon will suss it by the time he is 6 .

i wish i'd said fc will leave it downstairs.

I always had mine at the end of the bed, it's SOOOOOO exciting to find it there.

Oh well, i'll go and drink more Baileystea.
