Blame it on the cold(s)...

Yesterday we had a great morning. We made it to story time at the library and the kiddos were rewarded (bribe) with an additional stop to the candy store (ripoff) on main. 

After our errands were complete I thought for sure they would fall asleep on the way home. Wrong! So we had lunch, read more stories, sang, danced and played. Still no takers on nap time. 

Instead of going nuts (ok I did) I tried to enjoy the moments...but it wasn't until everyone was asleep (10:00) that I could take a deep breath and calm down. 

My day wasn't perfect but it was pretty wonderful. 

I have a lot to be thankful for and shame on me for wanting anything else. 

The following day no takers on naps again, but I captured some pretty cute video and pics of what unsupervised nap time looks like. 

That evening Julia did not sleep so well and needed the comfort of my ear for 75% of the night...we finally got some good sleep around wake up time. Why is that? 

Her need for comforting continued during  her nap... And looks something like this. 

Thank goodness I'm not worried about this weeks lesson plans or staying at work late. The weather is bringing blizzard conditions our way...better get to baking.
