Late Bedtime at Dinner

It's getting tougher to get the kids to bed now that days are getting longer. It's even tougher because they are usually so playful after baths and PJs. While playing with the kids and getting caught in the moment, my wife suggested that the kids go to bed later during the summer time. My son dutifully and jubilantly piped up, "Yeah, we can go to bed later during the summer!" In my mind, I roared, "No way! We don't even finish cleaning the kitchen until after 8pm anymore." But I was able to translate my thoughts into something more tame like, "Well, if the kids let us clean the kitchen first then maybe we can stay up later." I'm not sure yet if I really want to go that route. Maybe we could just get darker curtains to taint the windows.
