After a long, fun morning at the City Market.

"But I'm not tired and I don't want to nap!  And I'm still sitting outside."

...oh Angel


Sleep?

10 reasons I'm still getting no sleep even though Sawyer is now sleeping 8-10 hrs straight (yay!)

1) S goes to bed at 7:30p, if I were wise I'd go to bed at 9p, 10p at the very latest. But I'm still rolling into bed at 11:30 bc I have no self discipline to end my precious "alone" time by turning off the tv, iPhone, shower, conversation with husband, never ending kitchen clean up, etc.

2) Q wakes me up yelling for Daddy. I roll over and kick him awake bc he sleeps like a log.

3) All night- I wake up sweating, push off the down comforter and then wake up cold and pull it back on again. Hormones?

4) All night- Jeff snoring. I roll over and kick him, again.

5) The pesky need to pee even though I'm no longer pregnant.

6) Waking up bc I'm becoming uncomfortably full and ready to feed sweet, newly-longer-sleeping baby.

7) Waking up bc I think I hear one of the children crying when they aren't.

8) By this time (about 4-5 hours into my sporadic sleep) S wakes up to nurse.

9) What seems like only moments after getting myself back to sleep after feeding S, Jeff's alarm starts going off at a volume that could wake the neighbors. Once again, I roll over and kick him awake bc he could sleep through an earthquake.

10) Q wakes me up yelling for Mommy this time and my morning begins.

**Then there's always the occasional dog vomiting, neighborhood disturbance, remembering something to add to the grocery list, etc.

One day I caught Quinn pushing down hard on Sawyer's stomach while he was laying down. I was afraid that she was trying to hurt him but when I asked why she did that she told me that she was trying to make him smaller so she could hold him :) So I helped her hold him.



My little chef cracked 8 eggs for Quiche Lorraine all by herself with NO eggs shells!

"heart breaker"

Lent decluttering- Q helped me get rid of my old spices

Quinn heard baby Sawyer crying in his crib and in a matter of seconds she had gone upstairs and climbed into his crib with him to comfort him. 
We didn't realize she was in there until we heard/saw her on the monitor. 
Sweet big sister :)

Lent story cards. Quinn loved acting out communion (the Last Supper).  
She also loves getting communion together as a family at Jacob's Well.


 "Hosanna! Hosanna! to Jesus the King."

Quinn wanted to make sure the sun was not in baby Sawyer's eyes before she pushed him in the stroller.




 Chunky Monkey!


Yum! Beets make the most beautiful smoothies!
