All of that was followed by a couple of hours of complete civil unrest and insurrection inside the walls of our home. Our little "bedlamites" (as Elder Holland so lovingly referred to a certain variety of children) bucked every attempt to put on pajamas, follow directions, do their homework, brush their teeth, and in short, keep the peace. I think the last of our children finally fell asleep at midnight after hours of unsuccessful attempts to help her settle down in her new big girl bed.
