Overheard

Things Mommy and Daddy overheard last night, long after bedtime, but obviously before there were actually sleeping children upstairs...

"It's boring"

"When is it going to get dark?" Remember, where we live at this time of the year, it's dark at dinner time.

"Layla is wasting water." We should've listened to this one and taken action, when we finally did we found not water, but soap, all over their bathroom.

"What are we doing tomorrow?" This is a question asked every single night before going to sleep.

"When's it going to be summertime?"

"She's bothering me." It has been requested many nights for her to be in bed with him, we tried it, this was one of the responses, but when she was then moved to her own bed, a meltdown occurred because, "I wanted her in my bed." My inside voice (that's the one in your head): "Well, then don't complain about being bothered, we are being bothered by your constant voices hours after you are supposed to be asleep...NO MORE NAPS for Miss L."

"Do better at posting on your blog." Oh, wait, that was my inside voice again. But as you can see, I'm back and trying to be more regular in my posting. I've already completed most of the post about the special activities of today, but I need Miss L to answer some fun questions for me tomorrow and then I'll post for all to see how we celebrated her birthday. And maybe someday, I'll get caught up and actually go back and post about our fun fall and Christmas activities of 2009. But, for now, my goal is to simply stay current with all the fun we're going to be having each day in 2010.
