We have started doing it and I am so amazed at how smooth my night goes. What you ask, what are we doing? Well, we are reading the Book of Mormon every night. Before we would read it here and there, when and if we had time before bed. Well, before bed was just too crazy! They were too tired (OK I was too tired). So, this is our NEW nightly routine...and it it working!
3:30 Homework
4:00 Kids play outside, Dinner in oven
5:00 Melanie and Chelsea in shower, Spencer reads to me
5:15 Melanie and Chelsea set table, Spencer shower
5:00 dinner is ready and on the table
5:30 I am done eating (it takes my kids a hour to eat, sometimes more)
This is when I read the scriptures to them. That way we are having spiritual time instead of me yelling and them to hurry and eat.
6:00 we are playing or they can watch one TV show before bed.
7:15 we start reading books, sing songs
7:45 Kids are tucked in tight and I can relax!
WOW how smooth! We will see how long we can keep this up!
