strange, strange sleeper

This boy is having trouble falling asleep lately. Consequently, we have been finding him in all sorts of places as he attempts to get cozy.

(Finally finding him under his bed was a relief - we looked in all the usual spots and weren't finding him anywhere!)

Here he's in a plastic toy box - made himself a great little nest out of pillows and blankets. Right by the toys that didn't get cleaned up before bed.

It was a magical morning.

One of those times where I hated to stop their playing to have them get ready for school.

And so I let them play at least 10 minutes longer than they should have.

I woke to giggles.

I could hear them in their room concocting stories and laughing.

When I entered their room to say good morning I found them both sitting in a big, empty plastic bin. I think it was their space ship. Carter had ditched his pull-up and was completely naked. I suggested he get dressed so that Dylan wouldn't have to sit next to naked-man, which of course he protested.

Then Dylan said, "It's okay, buddy. I'll save your spot for you while you get dressed."

Truly magical.

Today was the first day of painting our humble abode. I am loving it and wishing we did it about six years ago.

Thirteen jars of pretty peaches that my family can eat.

Thank you Eileen for teaching me something new! And for letting me dirty up your gorgeous kitchen.

We had a fun morning talking about heavenly things - the Gospel and food. Definitely two of my favorite subjects.
