The Joy of Spring

After falling asleep two days in a row in random places, you know that Connor is tired. Well, actually, all of the boys are tired. It's nearly 10 am and they're all still asleep this morning. Grant you, we did get to bed a little later than usual last night. Mommy was unable to get everyone fed and ready for bed before 8 pm when American Idol began, so it played during our late dinner ("sketti," for those who are wondering, and yes it was a big hit with the boys), and then we got ready for bed.

And with the really nice weather of the past few days - warm temperatures and sunshine - the boys and I have spent a great deal of time outside. We've done lots of long stroller walks with all three of the boys, and Connor and I spend just about every minute of brothers' nap time outside too. So, they're generally sticky and smelly at the end of the day, and in desperate need of the daily baths we've tried so hard to avoid with their sensitive skin. So it was nearly 10 pm before the last little boy was tucked into bed.

Clearly, they are all tired from the recent change in season and the assorted activities that go with it. Rarely do we see 10 am without SOME movement from their rooms. Not today. Guess our "schedule" will have to be modified a little today. And sadly, the rain is supposed to return. Our stroller walk may be a bit dicey today, and it wouldn't be the first time we've all gotten a little wet before making it back to the house! Welcome back, Spring.
