Getting my kids to bed on time is SO EASY!

My 4 year old has started to fight a bit when it is time for bed. I have to admit that there are nights that she is up till 10:30pm. This is so frustrating and for those other parents who have young children you know how crabby they can be the next day when they go to bed late and it ruins the whole day for everyone.

My daughter has been asking me to build a fort in her room for a few days so obliged and here is the fort. This is a video of the kids playing in it earlier today. It is definitely an awesome place to play!

The last 2 nights I have had both kids in bed by 8:00pm. Tonight it was 7:45pm and I have loved it! I love my kids and I love spending time with them but ask any parent how much more the kids are appreciated when we get a few hours at night quiet and alone!

The reason for this awesome bed time is the fort. I am not kidding. My daughter is so excited to sleep in it with her brother that when my 15 month old is going to bed around 8:00 at night she is asking to go to and does! Usually either I or my husband has to lay with her until she falls asleep but with the fort she goes in, by herself, and that is it. I check on them within 10 minutes and they are both crashed. How cute is this?
