Charlie is getting 11 hours sleep a night and is actually volunteering to go to bed at night. It's usually a long drawn out process but since on vacation he's begging to get into bed, so its brush your teeth, prayers and sleeping in minutes.

We even skipped a bath tonight since we were at the Allans playing games and had dinner there until around 8 p.m. Past bedtime but for a good cause.

Charlie was very excited to find the stash of WII games at the Allans, he just couldn't believe there were that many games out there. He played a few of them too but I think a lot of them were a bit more advanced for him.

Midnight Monster is the game of the day and its essentially the kids beating up Uncle Mark until they turn on the light which is the signal to leave the basement. Of course, the kids are older now compared to last year so I think I'm going to be bruised a bit but I still am barely managing to keep the upper hand. It gets a bit tough but I'm still winning.

The weather was nice today, wet but warm. We didn't get a chance to through many snowballs but Charlie did get one or two off to Mom.
