Shh...

When waking Stella and Isaac up from their nap the other day this is how I found them.

Stella was sound asleep. So peaceful.

Isaac was also very sound asleep. But when looking a little closer at him I discovered something missing.

Hmm...

Sleeping = Growing

How can my kids be growing right before my eyes? I see it mostly with Stella and Isaac. I swear there are some days when they are bigger when they wake from their naps. How does this happen? The other day was one of those days when they grew while napping. My once teeny tiny babies are now toddlers. How and when did this happen? Here's a couple of pictures I took of Stella and Isaac just before I woke them from their afternoon nap. Don't they look so big? And so relaxed! It's such a bittersweet feeling knowing my kids are growing before my eyes.

Doesn't every two year old girl sleep with her purse on and her shoes lying right next to her?

Sweet dreams little one.

They can't be my kids

Wednesday afternoon the kids and I drove to NE. We had to detour an hour out of our way so my husband could drop off a truck at one of their stores. The last hour of the trip Carson was with us, but for five plus hours I was solo with the four kids. Carson followed behind me only part of the way. The kids were pretty good in the car all things considered. My only complaint is that they don't sleep in the car. How can this be? Isaac was the big sleep winner with sleeping all of 20 minutes. Carson came in second with two minutes. Stella and Owen chose not to sleep at all. And yes, we were in the car during nap time. It makes no difference what time of day or night we leave, the kids won't sleep. I guess it shouldn't matter if they are good right? But, this can't be normal. Or is it?
