Random thoughts Saturday

Why is it that BOTH of my sweet angelic 2 year olds that went straight to sleep after putting them into bed, became 3 year olds that would not fall asleep until after 10 and in crazy places? Here is Avery just after turning 3...
Now here is Zane at 3...
I guess there is something really cool and comforting about our hallway?? Avery grew out of but can't remember when. Anyway, it really has put a damper on me being able to blog during the evenings. The pictures you see are after a battle of runing into our room back and forth, fussing that they aren't tired, they are hungry, thirsty, etc. kicking the wall and singing We Will Rock You, going to the bathroom 500 times washing the hands for an hour each time...When they get to the point I can take a picture, it truly is a blessing! Unfortunately its after 10 and most likely Wes and I hadn't had a conversation yet...so blogs are sparse. I know you all are oh so devastated.

I love this breakfast...if only I had someone bring it to me in bed!
Why do I not want to get out of bed at all today? It could be because I didn't fall asleep until after 3am...or it could be because I want a vacay and trying to pretend my bed is actually a beach? Wes is sick so maybe its just the knowing I'll be doing it alone today and i'm bummed about it? I dunno...having a weird day. I'm sure I'll snap out of it soon. In the meantime, if anyone is oh so wanting to play with two kids...just let me know! Haha.
Here is Avery taking a self portrait! I didn't even know she took it until I was getting pictures off the camera...she wanted to see this one! When she found out it was my birthday Wednesday, she quickly found a gift bag (the one pictured) and included a colored picture, heart that says i love mom, a rock, and a leaf she made at school. Very cute and thoughtful! She was obviously proud!!

Darn, the kids are sick of entertaining themselves! I guess my random thoughts are over. I sound like a very ungrateful parent. Well...its wrong to judge :)

Aw, hang in there girl. It's awful when you spend all day doing things for your kids and then you are shorted on "grown up" time because they won't fall asleep!

Had one of those days today. Can't snap out of it. Greyson is going through a HORRIBLE new bedtime routine of crying and hysterically sobbing. It's awful!
