getting my nieces and nephews back to school

My sister and her husband picked the perfect time to take a vacation without the kids. For the two weeks my nieces and nephews had off they stuffed themselves with cookies, fudge, hot cocoa and other goodies and were then told to hehave and aunties house. I always knew my sister had it out for me and she finally won. Once I got to her house to watch the kids I was told to help them get back onto their sleep schedules and bedtime routines. Our first night together went much easier than I had anticipated. At 7pm they got their baths, followed by book reading, prayers and then lights out by 8pm. I was astonished how well this went until ten minutes later when my nephew came down to remind me to lock all the windows, doors and to set the home security alarm from www.Home-alarm-systems.com before I go to bed. I got my routine down just as quickly as the kids did and by the time my sister got home from vacation the kids were back in the school routine and I was in miss mom routine. She called me a few days later to let me know how empty the house was and so very quiet without all the rugrats terrorizing the house.
