Sleeping sprogs, at last

One of those nights in which it took forever for the sprogs to go to sleep. Boo wanted reading to, and Skibo wanted us not to read to her --- making for the standard standoffs. Finally, between LOML and me, it took us well under two hours to get them to sleep. On my part, at least three books, two songs and half a dozen poems. More still on LOML's part.
Pretty soon I think that we are going to have to write off the afternoon naps --- they always make the early evening more pleasant (as well as the fact that we old farts need them in the afternoon too!) but the bedtimes are terrible.
