Day of Rest

Jake is 5 now and in all day kindergarten – which means we had to give up on his daily naps. He adjusted really well to the change and for the most part only takes naps once in a while on the weekends. He likes to have “quiet time” instead whenever he can get away with it. Last Sunday was one of those naps he talked his way out of. As you can see – he really wasn’t tired…

Guess life catches up to even the most energetic of us. He slept there on the stairs for a good 45 minutes. Meanwhile, Mom slept in her bed for over 2 hours – because you’re never too old for a nap! (Especially when you are 9 months pregnant.)

Jake fought the nap until the stairs just overpowered him.

PS – I’ve now scrubbed the baseboards, wiped down all doors and cupboards, sanitized light switches, dusted every surface, reorganized the pantry, and cleaned out my purses. Saturday (as I scrubbed the top of the refrigerator) Brent said, “I sure hope the baby comes soon.” I said, “Why?” He answered, “Because there isn’t much left to clean…” Crazy??! There is always more to clean! And I swear everything is already dirty again… How does that happen so fast?

    Speaking of cleaning and Jake. Tonight he spilled cinnamon sugar all over the carpet in the front room. Good times. We vacuumed it up, but an ant will probably find a stray nugget or two.

    Yeah, I heard about the cinnamon sugar episode. Though according to Jake – it “just spilled” and he had nothing to do with it.

    Danny says otherwise.

    Holy cow, you nester! I’ll bet anything that you have your baby before me, what with your past history and your obsessive cleaning lately! I on the other hand have had no desire to clean anything and I think, if they could, my babies would stay in the womb an extra month at least. But I agree with Krystal: you MUST wait until Sunday at least! *wink*

    I love when I find the boys asleep in random positions and places. I always think they must be so uncomfortable but the second I go to move them they wake up. So I’ve learned to leave them in their fallen state.
