bedtime

The craziness of the evening routine. Let's see, it goes something like this.  The kids eat pick at dinner. After dinner is bath time.  The kids LOVE this part of the evening.  They take off all their clothes and run around the house like banshees....nakie buns and all.  It is pretty hilarious and I really try to enjoy the moment.  To be honest, most nights I am so tired and just really want the kids to be in bed already.  But they are laughing and chasing each other around and it really is super cute to see their buns streaking through the house.  Their destination is the couch where they jump all around.

Eventually, we corral them and get them into the bath. After playing in the tub, it is jammie time...another time for complete chaos.  They love getting ready together in Malia's room.  Malia goes to bed first, after her story, milk, and a little song, sung to her by all her lovies and stuffed animals that are currently in the crib (tonight it was Happy Feet, Clifford, and Halo).  While all this is going on in Malia's room, Kekoa is supposed to be choosing a story for himself, out in the living room.  That sometimes happens.  After Kekoa's story, I piggy back him to the bathroom where we brush and floss his teeth, then head to bed for another story, told by either myself of Scott.  A lot of cuddling goes on during this time of night...I love it.  Most nights though, it is Scott who lays with him until he falls asleep.  I usually leave the room before this happens and Kekoa will sneak out, looking for his Baba.

Kekoa loves this picture, how his little tush is showing and Malia is saying "cheese".

This picture too is completely posed...
