I'm really not sure why Braden chose the red loin-cloth look for his evening wear.

What's the secret?
Dinner time and bed time have become a source of great contention and stress in my home. The kids get home from school and we are doing home work, after school snacks (maybe), chores (one each kid every day), and then starting dinner. By the time dinner is ready to be served I am ready to scream and swear at everyone.
Dinner ends.
Later there is bedtime. We do two kids with two showers (babies don't count in this rotation) every night, brush teeth, jamies, scriptures, family prayer, personal prayers, massage, tickle, rub (that is my job...massage the child's back, then tickle the back, then rub the back). By the time showers are done I am swearing in my head again. Bedtime is taking like one and a half hours....WHY?!!! How did the parents of our latter day Prophets and Apostles do all this and still raise up these awesome children who praise their parents and are faithful talented individuals?
By the time everyone is down there is no time for Stevey and I to settle down and enjoy each others company. The kids aren't getting into bed until 9:15pm and then leaving me alone until 9:30...this is really stressing me out. What would you do and you have to consider that we have a 12 yr old, 10, 9, and 7 so an eight o'clock bed time isn't realistic at all. I feel like a failure of a mother ever night starting around 4:30pm and I hate it.

2008 Labor Day Camp-Out
Grandview Camp ground was around 50 miles away on a beautiful pine covered mountain just North of IF.
We are sitting on ancient volcanic rock with a "grandview" of the Lower Messa Falls.....breathtaking!
"Whatz wite dere"
BEAUTIFUL!
Shaylee roasting a hotdog. The weather was perfect and the camp fire was warm and nice.
A mile down from our camp site there was the river to play in. The water was FREEZING!

Fire wood duty!
The morning camp fire....nice!
Upper Messa Falls. We saw kyakers going off of these falls.

Your Opinion Please!
So now that I am the proud mother figure of a beautiful twelve year old several things have come up and I am seeking your advice.
1. Make-up. How much for a twelve year old starting seventh grade? I am fine with an ash colored eyeliner on the bottom lashes and brown mascara, but she wants more....your opinions please.
2. Bedtime. The school bus picks up at 7:30am with school starting at 8:30am. We have generally done an 8 to 8:30 bedtime with our children but I am not sure what to do for an older child....opinions again please.
Well, these are the two big concerns in the family right now so let me know what you think.
