As a parent of 5 children some times (okay, let's be honest, from the time they get up to the time they go to sleep) the kids can be a little loud and not listen to what you say. So last night I jokingly said something about hog tying our wild children to settle them down. It turns out they do listen to us! (I call it selective audio disorder, all children have it) Emma and Daniel ran out to the garage and grabbed the rope!
Once they are all tied up we have a little peace and quite while they work and wiggle to get themselves untied. And we get a good laugh.
Emma was the first to get herself untied! They had so much fun and got all tired and were in bed and asleep by 7pm! (Part of that was due to the fact that the time changed and 6pm felt to them like 7pm)
