This is my new nap time. Screaming. Messing. and total mayhem. I am not sure I am going to survive. I am trying to train them to watch a movie and not get up. Is that to much to ask for? 30 min-1hr of quiet time? A break from messing? It's not going to well...

♥ My kids "did" that for a little while (huge fight) they quickly found out that mom is not nice when they don't take a nap! I depend on that hour or two of quiet time way too much! :)
Uggghhhh....they are trying SO HARD to be miserable. That would drive me nuts. I STILL enforce quiet time at my house. If the big kids happen to be home during quiet time, they have to comply too....or Mom loses it. And THAT's not pretty.
I feel for you! Stick with it as much as you can! It is such a sad day when they realize they don't want naps anymore, but I need that time for my sanity...and, FRANKLY, their well-being!
When did your other kids stop naps? Luke stopped napping at 2 yrs old (which was no fun for me!) and now my girls are starting to resist naps (they just turned 2). They just jump up and down and giggle in their cribs all through nap time. Its tough because I love when they nap! Good luck....I feel for you!
Stick with it, be persistent! They need the break as much as you do, that's what I always tell myself!

Ugh... I feel the pain. Naps kind of ended for my kids around 2. BUT... they don't object to watching a show during the day, so I call "nap time" "tv time" instead. I think all moms need that little break to recharge. In fact, Diego in on right now. ;) I get a few minutes to steal away on the computer, and then time to make lunch.
Oh, gosh, I think I'll go crazy if mine stop napping! Vivi will still nap, although some days I hear her quietly playing in her room before falling asleep. That's fine by me....she knows that I need a quiet break too!
I missed your ebay! I have so much stuff to list, but I'm dreading it. It takes way too much time, and I haven't been pleased with my auctions! I should just give the stuff away.
Have fun in Mexico! Your kids will love it.
Oh this brings back memories--bad ones. I was always so desperate for sleep, and when Calvin and Paul stopped napping I thought I would die. Then Jake decided to stop napping when he was three or so. I could have cried.
My condolences.
Seriously..There are so many days where I just need 30 minutes..that's all.., and I feel like crying if I don't get it. Did they see the video? I know when I show Evan a video of him crying he watches almost as if it is shocking for him to see..
I'd be laughing if that wasn't the scene at this house too.
