SLEEP?!!@#$

Sometimes I wonder if every mother feels this way or if it is just me...

This is Casey, my very active, never stopping almost 2 year old. He has a fever...


Casey has been sick, so I understand him waking up at night, but it is still hard to wake up 2 hours after you go to bed and then be awake for an hour or so. Then I finally convince him we could lay down (YES I let him sleep with me! At this point in my night I don't really care. I know this too will pass so...). Then, Carter wakes up and is afraid of everything and nothing. So I am sleeping in a double bed next to a feverish baby(and don't forget, my husband is still in bed, too) and flopping my hand over said bed to hold Carter's hand, who by the way, wakes up the instant I move my hand all the rest of the night...




But I still get to wake up to this view of two beautiful boys
who are all mine!
I know Al would say the lack of sleep gets to me, but there will be plenty of years to sleep and then I will be wondering what to do with all my extra time....

100th Day

January 29, 2008 was the 100th day of school!!! Plus it was a snow day!!!! We decided to make a gingerbread house...

Emily and Casey and I mixed dough from scratch...

Then we had to wait while it cooled...? Bake each half of the house for 20 minutes and cool it again. We mixed up frosting and then attempted assembly.


As you can see we needed Al's expertise to make it stand up!


Emily took on the task of decorating our creation and finally at 8:30 p.m. at night, she unveiled her masterpiece!


Not a bad end to the 100th day of 3rd grade, huh?
