3 kids sleeping




All of my children are asleep at the same time… in the middle of the day!  This may be a miracle.  Right now Allie still takes 2 naps a day and Drew takes 1 nap.  Are they at the same time you may wonder… NO!  She sleeps from around 10:30-noon and then again from 3:30-5 pm.  Drew likes a nap around 1:30-2.  I try to keep him up so they sleep at the same time but this just makes him cranky before the nap and not want to go to sleep until 9 pm because he is rested from his late nap.  All of this leads to me being tied to my house all day because one of my kids is always sleeping.  Addison no longer needs a nap on most days.  I do try to give her ‘quiet time’ in the afternoon while the other kids sleep.  We usually work in a workbook or color and if mom is in a really tired mood, we lie on the couch and watch a movie.  I may or may not watch the backs of my eyelids during this time.  It depends on the day and the kids mood (if they want to harass me while I am on the couch or not).  Addison has a bit of a cold and because of this has been tired.  Today I have the glorious opportunity to do whatever I want while they all 3 sleep.  What did I do?  First I sneaked around the house and took pictures of them all sleeping like the stalker mom that I am.  I worked on my volunteer job, did some online shopping and then decided to tell you all about this.  I could have been productive and cleaned or prepped dinner but that would not have been any fun.  It is hard to be on the computer and have cohesive thoughts with 3 kids around so I took the opportunity and ran with it.  I hope at least some of you get one of these miracle moments this week!
