today i'm grateful.. beanbags..

today I am grateful for 

beanbags 

and the power they have to put my kids to sleep for me..  

We have this little evening routine of dinner, laps of the house (by the kids), bath, pyjamas, beanbag to drink a bottle of milk while watching a dvd, brush teeth, story and sleeeeep.. They each have their own beanbag and absolutely love it.. Zaccy probably a little more than Ella but they both know which one is theirs and in the evenings they just snuggle in there and chill out..

Although brushing teeth comes after milk and brushing teeth is really important, I kind of like the interception of the bean bag putting the kids to sleep sometimes.. it makes for an early evening and a little bit more me time..
