More nap drama

On Tuesday night the girls napped from 3-6pm and I tried waking them from about 4:30 on, but had no success. When I got home from the DSMOM social at 9:30 they were still awake, of course. We tried for over an hour to get them down. They kept getting up, turning on the lights, taking off their pajamas. I was so tired and frustrated. They didn't end up going down until 11:30 pm and I was done. I made a vow that they would not nap on Wednesday and that's exactly what happened. I scheduled 3 different get togethers with my friends and their kids just to avoid the sleep time. By 4:00 they were SO tired, but we managed to keep them awake. Reese fell asleep at 7:30 and Ryan wouldn't go to bed unless I did. I was so tired that I took her to bed with me and we passed out at 8:45. Today they fell asleep on the floor at 3:00pm, but I'm getting ready to wake them up right now. This is such a hard transition for us because I think they need the sleep at some point during the day, but when they get their rest they are up until at least 10pm. I never thought I would say this, but I'm actually looking forward to the day that they can make it through without a nap and being super cranky.
