Not everyone was in the play, but they had to deal with lots of activity one way or the other.  They dealt beautifully with late nights and awkward meal times and cleaned up great for church.
Love this little dolls. 

As noted earlier, Johanna was often despondent at bedtime.  She was often scared. 
I have always planned to put the two little girls together, but, frankly, was waiting until I felt they were old enough to safely enjoy bunk beds.  That is still a bit away, and with two beds on the floor neither of their rooms is really large enough for all that they have for a combined bedroom.
BUT – necessity is the mother of invention and we need better sleep for Hanny and her parents. 
So – John moved Katriel’s dresser out of her room and into Johanna’s room, and Johanna’s bed out of her room and into Katriel’s room.
What we are left with is a room for sleeping.

And a room for dressing and playing. 
 
Eventually we will put bunks in here (another year, maybe?) and I hope to use the now Sleep Room for a school room.
(Ah – in search of a school room.  Homeschool moms know what I am pining for.  More likely at that point some of the older ones will want their own rooms…)
What we found out a few days in, was that this sleeping arrangement transpired a few minutes after we’d leave each night.  At least now we know to go back in and cover Katriel up.
