BEDTIME ROUTINE
Everyone with kids has a bedtime routine, and ours has solidified into a mayhem of sorts (some of you are probably asking, aren’t they all?). After supper we head to the bedroom to attempt the putting on of pajamas, which usually results in thirty minutes of wrestle time, pillow fights and racing around the house. Zach and Nathaniel wrestling on our bed, 
Nathaniel enjoys swinging from the motorcycle, feet dangling in the air. 
When we finally have the boys dressed, time for the vitamins, for which Nathaniel eagerly awaits all day. Mommy, Zachariah and Nathaniel take a break from wrestling for a quick picture. 
Then off to brush teeth, read 2-3 books for Zach, with numerous questions about why Sammy the Seal doesn’t know how to spell, or why bad men put Jesus on the cross, and about 10 books for Nathaniel (still a speed-reader). Here, Nathaniel listens to a songbook of hymns while wearing his favorite shoes, Zach´s rain boots! 
Then prayers, songs and lights out, with the nightly reminder to keep doors open from Zachariah. We wonder sometimes what we did in the evenings before the boys arrived….
