yes. i did have my 7 and 9-year-olds up tonight until after 11.
yes. they were watching tv for 3 hours straight.
yes. they did have snacks that may or may not have been healthy. hmm...does popcorn count as a vegetable? good, because i'm pretty sure riley ate the whole bag by himself. and aj got a great amount of dairy with his bowl full of ice cream at 9:30
yes. they did use their outside voices inside. several times. but it was mostly their dad.
but for the record. THE CELTICS WON!! and more importantly, we had a great time together as a family!
ps please still consider looking over our application to become foster parents. :)
And to think ... just this morning I was commenting back to you on my blog about what a great parent you were. (lol)

LOL that's awesome... I was thinking that when we let our three boys and their friend stay up to watch the game 7 with Montreal and Pittsburgh the other night and they were eating Chineese food and nachos and twizlers at 10pm. But then I thought "Which would they rather be thinking 15 years from now? Would they be thankful that they got a full nights sleep that one day in May? Or would this be something they remember from their youth?" Good job guys! Oh yeah and we also take our kids out of school to go to the beach and canobie too!! such bad parents...
