Awesome Parenting

I am now officially an awesome parent.  Surely there is a website somewhere that will feature me.  I could give classes.
A few nights ago I put the girls to bed, waited for all to be calm and went downstairs to surf the net.  After about an hour I went back upstairs to find that Chickenbutt was still awake, had the light on, had been playing trains and was not looking at all tired.  We generally leave the light on for her for about 10 minutes after she crawls into bed as she likes to read.  Clearly I forgot to turn it out.  I did have the monitor on though so she must have been quiet.  I didn't hear a thing. 
At 3AM the same night the Wren decided to get up and was CHEERY!  She was playing with her toys in her bed.  So I got up, fed her and decided that I was too tired for a long cuddle session so I tossed her back in bed and let her cry it out.  It didn't take that long.
Today I took them to the library.  I let them walk along the library sidewalk in the ice.  I let them wander around the library.  I let the Wren play with the computer.  I banged the Wren's head on the car door trying to wrestle her into the seat, then she lost a boot and she thrashed herself out of the car seat.  Did I mention that she was not wearing mittens or a hat?  She will only wear them inside the house, as soon as we get in the car they come off.
After the library I fed them Happy Meals.  And watermelon so that evens out.
Oh and sometimes I let them eat food off the floor. 
But not at McDonald's.
