Our kids have never been the type to sleep when we want them to sleep. They are great at tag-teaming (one stays up until midnight and the other wakes up at 6:00 am). They are also great at refusing to nap and then conking out late in the day making bedtime horrendous.
Elena has been skipping naps altogether lately, which makes for a crazy day, but at least gets her to bed early and helps her sleep in later. Here she is after losing a long battle with naptime, finally falling asleep on my shoulder. With her finger up her nose. (In her defense, I will say she's normally not much of a nose-picker, but I think all the crying had her a bit stuffed up)
Sam loves to take an evening snooze and then party hard until 11:00 or so. (Right now for example, at 10:10pm, he is currently busy trying to pull all of the cords out of my computer as I type.) We try not to let him nap past 5:00 so he will go to bed at a decent time, but it just doesn't seem to work. If he wants to sleep, he's going to sleep. Here he is at suppertime last night - not an ideal naptime.

I blame the Myhres for Sam's problem. Mainly the men. To prove it's their fault, here is a classic photo of Seth's brother, good ol' Uncle Craig, asleep in a seemingly impossible position.
