Their not that sneaky.......

I woke up this morning to the sound of Max and Ruby on the t.v. in our bedroom. But that's all that I heard......which is not a good thing in our household! I woke up Eran to ask him where the kids were at, and he shrugged his shoulders. I noticed that the gate leading down stairs was open. "Shoot!" I thought to myself. "Eran didn't close the gate all the way."
So with baby on hip, I headed downstairs to see what trouble the kids were getting into.

BriAnn was playing a game on the computer....and Emma was standing there watching her. When I said, "Hey, what are you doing?" Emma threw a piece of Beef Jerky that I got for Easter onto the table and shouted, "NOTHING!"
You should have seen her jump. And her face...it was priceless! I stumbled past them, too tired to care all that much that she had just eaten a big portion of the bag. Thats Emma for ya.

I went back up stairs to beg my sweet husband for 1 more hour of sleep. I used the line of, "you slept so much better than I did, and I let you sleep in 1 extra hour during our sunday nap yesterday." Which, is true. He sleeps like a rock, while I hear every little sound and peep that comes from our kids. Not to mention that i'm a late night snack for the short one.

He agreed to let me sleep for another hour. What a sweetheart!!

BriAnn then came up the stairs with a sugar frosted cookie in hand (you know the kind!) Eran asked her why she had it, and she proudly proclaimed that "mommy said I could!"
Really? I did? 'Cause I don't remember saying that! I'm going to have to nip that lying streak she's on before it becomes a habit.

After my nap.

Do you let your kids watch t.v./play in their rooms/deprive them of food for 1 hour in the morning so you can get a little more sleep? (especially if your kids woke up at 6am every. day. like. mine.)



And have you heard of "pee shudders?" Easton's whole body occasionally shudders, and I was freaking out about it thinking, "oh my gosh, he's having mini seizures!!!" Until I read about "pee shudders."

Whew! Was I relieved!!

Gotta love google, right?
