Out like a light.

It's currently 9:30 at night and ALL THREE KIDS ARE ASLEEP. Yes, that deserves caps. Because, like, this never happens. Most people brag if all the kids are in bed by 8, but I see this as a total victory.

The house is trashed and our weekend is incredibly too full of plans but I'm just enjoying the silence. Because today has been LOUD. Poor Declan seems to be battling some tummy craps or something. Dude was just not happy. Connor has become obsessed with computer games and insists on playing them with the speakers on high. Emma just talks like she's speaking in a megaphone. So yeah, lots and lots of noise.

Night time around here as become sort of odd. I feel like we're getting into a nice groove in the morning. We all get up with minimal fussing, and so far we haven't even come close to being late for school! Emma still insists on me walking her in, so I do the nice thing and at least brush my hair for those who have to look at me. I'd be lying if I said I'm not looking forward to when she gets comfortable enough to be dropped off in the drop off line, because then my primping will be at the bare minimum. I predict lots of baseball caps and pj pants in my future, but my hobo appearance will mean I got 15-20 extra minutes of sleep that morning. But anywho, nights have been rough. Declan is getting to sleep well enough, but he's went from waking up 0-1 time a night to around 3 a night. 3 times being up is still ok for being almost 2 months old, but it's hard when we were waking up one time. I want that one time back! Last night I literally fell asleep while I was feeding him. It's a weird feeling to wake up all disoriented with a passed out kid in your arms. The good thing is that Declan doesn't mess around when he wakes to eat. The times I have been coherent I've timed it, and on average it takes us 15 minutes to be be changed, fed, and be put back to sleep. Not too shabby.

I hope everyone has a nice Labor Day weekend! Just tomorrow we have a parade, Em square dances twice with two different groups, and then the Razorback football game. WPS!
