I think I'm going to have a nightdare!

Just before going to bed last night, Callie said, "I think I'm going to have a nightdare tonight and it's going to wake me up. It might be loud!". The night before, she woke up and came into our room saying 2 spiders were in her bed trying to get her. Oh, the imagination this girl has!

That being said, Callie didn't have a "nightdare" last night...Emma did...or maybe she fell out of bed - we're not sure. All we know is she screamed for 20 minutes - a "mean" scream, not a scream like she was in pain. We're not sure if she was awake or not, but it was getting rather old at 2:00 in the morning. She finally calmed down and climbed into bed with us. She said she fell out of bed and hit her head and that's why she was crying/screaming. I'm not sure if that was it or not, but I was glad when she calmed down. :) She cuddled w/ us for a little while and then disappeared back to her bed.

This is the 3rd night there has been a child in our bed...we're starting to feel the lack of sleep (at least I am).

I hope tonight is much quieter and everyone stays in their own bed!!

Nice Evening at Home

Sometimes, I think someone comes in an possesses my children. Last night was one of those nights. First of all, our kids really do get along well with each other - most of the time. :)

Yesterday afternoon, the girls and I drove in. Josh immediately comes down to greet us (like he usually does). Well, when we went upstairs, he took the girls into the living room to play. I then heard, "Hey Callie! Come here! Do you want to watch Dora?" Josh usually gets a little cranky if we turn his shows off to watch what the girls want to watch. So, this surprised me a little that he was offering to let them watch Dora! Way to go, Josh!

Then, at supper, I ran out of Doritos (w/ my soup) and I just said, "Oh look! I ran out of Doritos!". Josh said, "Here, you can have the rest of mine!". Doritos are his favorites!

Before that, I told the kids were were having left over soup (again). Callie isn't a soup eater, so she told me she didn't want any. I told her I would make her a cheese sandwich. She told me she wanted a sandwich with just jelly on it. I told her that I had to put some peanut butter on it because she wasn't just having a jelly sandwich. Well, instead of throwing a fit, she said, "Okay, Mommy! Thank you!" in the sweetest voice!

I wish every evening was like that! Everyone was so polite! :)
