So from the time Swayzie was really little she has become really good at finding reasons to stall before bedtime, she will get out of bed several times for drinks and potty and of course the thing that she just has to tell you right away like, she loves you. Sweet, right? Well not when it's 9:30 and you sent her to bed an hour ago. So a couple years ago we came up with a clever idea to get our kids to stay in their beds on those nights when you're just so tired and don't want to deal with the nagging....
Introducing... The Shoe Fairy! She only visit's occasionally when she notices you've done a very good job at staying in your bed and going right to sleep after you've been tucked in. My kids leave their shoes outside their bedroom door and... surprise the next morning they wake up to find a little treasure with a little note attached inside their shoe. Now when I even just mention the word Shoe Fairy my kids are asleep instantly and I get to enjoy time alone with my hubby with no interruptions!!

That is the cutest idea!
I love this idea. I hope you don't mind if we steal it.
Bedtime over here is like me pulling my hair out and the kids army crawling on the floor to try and see whatever show we are watching on tv.
Hey! Wow it looks like you guys have been busy! I can't believe Swayzie lost 2 teeth! Thats way cool! I live the shoe fairy idea. I'll have to remember that one for when Rilyn's older. Congrats Justin on graduation and the new job! Thats awesome! I can't wait until my hubby gets to be home more! We need to do a bbq soon!
smart girl! I wish I was a nice and creative momma
That is such a good idea. I might have to use that to get Kallie to sleep in her bed all night.
Oh my goodness that is the cutest thing. Any ideas for a 7 month old! Ha! ;) How are you all?
Chelsea you are such a cute mom! I was talking to Tyler about what good parents you two are to your sweet children, thanks for sharing a little piece of your family life with us the other night. I'm glad that you have a blog so that we can keep in touch with eachother.
Hi this is a great way to get your kids into bed and actually stay there. You don't know me but maybe your husband does, our family lived in Mesa in the same neighborhood as their family and I have been trying to get a hold of Paula for ever. Tiffany Ensign Kyles Sister) gave me this blog to try and see if I could get some information of Paula. My name is Leita Farnsworth my email is leitaf@comcast.net or my cell is 801-318-6132 if you could have her contact me. I am also here in Az for the next 10+ days visiting my daughter. I know this is weird but I have tried everything that I could think of. Thank you for your help. Leita Farnsworth
