Night owls

My little boys have become night owls!

They go to bed at their regular bed time than a few hours later one if them "sounds the call" for the group and they get up. They take turns on who is the caller, something they have always done. 

Tonight Maarii decided to continue her beauty sleep so it was just me and the little boys.

We had some milk and a snack. Then a little play time with Sesame Street.

Funny thing is that Hunter now associates being up late with our smoke detector. A while ago during one of our late nights with daddy the fireplace started smoking and set off the alarm.

 Hunter was very interested in that very loud noise so josh had to take him and show him what it was.

 Now all late nights he goes over to the wall it's on and points and starts talking about it.

Funny the things they remember. 

After we were done with snacks Hunter kept walking down the hall to his bedroom door.

 I kept bringing him back, assuming he was trying to wake Maarii. After the 5th time or so, I thought maybe he is trying to go back to bed. So I gathered the boys up and took them back to their beds. They both laid down quietly and went right to sleep. I guess they just needed a snack and some play time, and were ready to hit the hay!
