They just ran around until they had no more running in them (we managed to do both grownup Torah seder and crazy kid activity seder at the same time, somehow), and then crashed when they had to crash. The living room was littered with little sleeping people by the end. Oh, no, this was a seder with loooots of kidlings, aged anywhere from 6months on up.

Now, instead of emulating the rabbis who stayed up all night retelling the story (until their students came in, etc etc), we have a very experiential seder with costumes and a fake red sea and pyramid-building relays... as if we were slaves in Egypt says the Haggadah, right? I'll tell you what -- it doesn't go to 4 am anymore! Seders with kids, my wife and I are discovering, are a whole different kind of animal.
