Chocolate is the solution.

I live by the believe that chocolate can and does solve any problem. Luckily my husband knows this and applies the philosophy as needed. Examples of his recently proffered very good solutions are shown above.
Now tonight he is away and I am facing a little problem known to all mothers as" bed time" and so I went to make a large cup of hot chocolate. Second problem the steamer is not working.
Right chocolate biscuits will have to do.
But I gave those away on Thursday.
This has now turned into a chocolate emergency I will have to break into the stash.
Sorry honey can't be helped I need the support as there is a lot of resistance forming against this "bedtime" thing. The fact that the five of them go to bed at roughly the same time every night you think would make it easier. I mean they know it is coming, and there is no way to get out of it but still they try every excuse to delay. Here are those that can physically get out delaying. Two cribs may not be enough for this house.
