... and three kids are finally asleep, and one kid is bouncing on the bed singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" (loudly, with the wrong lyrics) and clapping, while completely naked.
No points for guessing who.
Viggy: "D, it's time to go to bed."
D: "But I'm doing somersaults!" *somersaults* "Wheeeeeee" *somersault* "Wheeeee!"
***
Also, trying to get D and N both ready to go out to the park at the same time is pretty funny, when it's Viggy doing it and not me.
"Kids, go get dressed."
N goes into the bedroom and comes back with a shirt on but no skirt, D disappears into the bedroom.
"Kids, I said get dressed."
N goes into the bedroom and comes out with a skirt but no shirt on anymore, D comes out with a tshirt - and nothing else - on.
"We're not going to the park if you aren't dressed! Come on, don't you want to go to the park?"
N goes back into the bedroom, and comes out in just underwear and shoes. D starts jumping on the couch.
"Your sisters are ready. This isn't fair to them."
N goes back into the bedroom, and comes out with underwear, shoes, and a dress of Adi's that's three sizes too big. D hides under a sheet.
Etc.
Fun times (In the end, I took the kids to the park for all of 40 minutes before they decided they were hungry and we came home. Viggy and the kids never made it to the park today. But they got to watch a Curious George video after dinner and eat marshmallows for dessert, so today was a good day from their perspective.)

Ooooh...the only thing better than marshmallows for dessert is placing a toasted marshmallow between 2 graham crackers and a square of Hershey chocolate. Yum...pass the s'mores!
