Black out!

I was complaining a few weeks ago on Facebook that my kids were waking up at 6 AM and I was just so tired all the time. Some friends suggested that I put a dark sheet or blanket up in their windows to help them sleep longer. I finally got some dark blue fleece, cut it out, stuck some push pins at the edges of the windows, made some holes to hook on the pins and walaa, my kids are sleeping later!!!

The first night I didn't see much of a difference but slowly the waking has become 7, 7:30 and finally this morning Justin and I didn't wake up until 7:45, hooray! (However, much to Justin's dismay, he got into work later than he wanted because he slept in to late!) Tim has been sleeping in until 8 or even later. This is just fabulous! I suggest it to all of my friends who wish to sleep in a little in the summer....YAHOO!!!

I tried to do some before and after pictures so you could see the difference at 9:30 AM, but the flash would not go off on the light picture. Hmmm, I'll see if they turn out!
