The Children's Hour

Before bedtime the girls get a little crazy. In our family we call it 'marshmallow time'. The squeals get louder, the bumps hurt more, walking is more careless and it is a little frantic. They are fighting the inevitable-BEDTIME.
Excerpts from The Children's Hour

Between the dark and the daylight,

When the light is beginning to lower,

Comes a pause in the day's occupations

That is known as the Children's Hour.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
