Sleep...Glorious Sleep

Last night, I went to bed at 10:00, and didn't wake up until 7:15 this morning!!  It was blissful.  Of course, at 7:15, I went into Alex's room to make sure she was still breathing, but they were nine beautiful hours.  I don't think Caitlyn has ever slept 9 hours.  It's amazing the difference a good night's sleep can make on your attitude!

pens

On the way to a friend's house for dinner

Caity: It's getting dark... it's almost bed time
Me: How about we have dinner & play with our friends first & then go to bed?
Caity: All right.

. . . long silence . . .

Caity: Do they have a pen there?
Me: I'm sure they have pens... why?
Caity: For me to sleep in.
(she meant a play pen & thought we were having a sleepover!)
