While They Are Sleeping- 10 Reasons Why I Love It When My Kids Are Sleeping!


1. They are holding still long enough for me to take time
to study their cute details-

Quincy's super cute nose!
William's super long lashes!
Their cute hands and feet
2. I get to say a silent prayer and thank the heavens
for another day with them!
3. They are both so snugly! William always snuggles up
with his blue blanket and
Quincy has this raged old bear
that he has had for 5 years. His bear is officially part of the family and I'd cry if we ever lost him!
4. It gives me time to review the day and recommit to being a better mother.

5. It gives me time to write my to-do list for the next day. I really love planning my week!
6. It gives me time to review my to-do list from that day and realize all of the things I didn't get done! I can add it to the next days list! As Chip says, "Tomorrow is a good day for that!"
7. Guilt free blogging time!
8. It gives me some much needed time with Chip- if he is in town ;)
9. I can actually clean the house and it stays that way- at least through the night!
10. I'd have to admit... peace and quiet are SO nice! Especially since I have been a single mother all summer with terrible morning sickness!

What do you do when your kids are sleeping?

Sleeping kids are the cutest. I love to watch each of them and marvel at how beautiful my kids are and how lucky I am to have them. I love the alone time with Blake. I also love to read and blog at that time.

I take a bath the moment those kids go to bed.

Watch movies, get on the computer, clean, etc. Some nights, I do sneak in their room for some stolen kisses!

I have been watching reruns of Dallas (I know it is very sad). I have also started blogging, clean and talk on the phone.

A big old NOTHING sounds like the greatest thing to me- But lets be real now.

Hmmm, I putter around the house a lot. Love getting lots of stuff done that actually stays done through the night, just as you said! Hope you're feeling better, by the way :)
