The 8 O'Clock Phenomenon

 In our house we have something we call the 8 o'clock phenomenon. It doesn't seem to matter what has gone on during the day, we could have had children arguing and fighting, others saying they're too tired to do any work and general pure mess making but come 8 o'clock when we think they should all be heading to bed a transformation occurs. A calm descends and they all become industrious and harmonious to the point where we think we can't interrupt them and break the spell and then yet another late night ensues!

This is our butterfly room (the name we give to our learning space due to all the butterflies painted on the wall) taken at 8 o'clock one night and is the typical scene of studiousness as bath time approaches.






Justin gives up on trying to instigate bedtime and gets a job done instead!
