What do you do to them when you catch them doing something wrong?
Also, why are they out of your sight so much? I don't believe I would be sleeping while an 8 yo and a 3 yo were up running around.
Sounds like they need some closer supervision and some rules and consequences for when they break them. They shouldn't go outside alone at all. They are too young. Children of any age will do whatever you let them get away with. You have to watch them. If you don't want to go outside with them, then they can't go either. They need to be in there rooms and stay until you wake up. Give them things that they can and are allowed to do such as turn on the tv and wait for you to get up and or come wake you up when they get up. It's not that they are bad, they just need to have better rules.
