Those su-hu-mer ni-heights

Anybody else completely unable to get their children to go to bed at a reasonable hour in the summer??? Tank comes downstairs wanting a passage in a book deciphered or to discuss the middle east peace process at ELEVEN P.M.
Last night I removed the lightbulbs from their rooms so they have to go to bed when it gets dark...farm style. This made Big Red really mad.
This morning, I blared music and opened their blinds wide and sang at the top of my lungs to rouse them. They were contrite and agreed to go to bed tonight when mama and papa say so.
I enjoyed it more than I should have.
Oh, and here's some zucchini bread that I healthed-up a good deal...what can I say, they ate it...
