Sleepy Boys in an Active World

Well we may have had a break through tonight – it turned out the twins just wanted to sleep together… Ken at first put their pillows in Zander’s crib and then them both in there… we heard some crying so he went in and Zander had climbed out and put all of Gavin’s toys in his crib and then either was too tired to climb back in or did not want to fall on Gavin so was crying on the floor. Went in to check on them again and both asleep in the crib!!! So maybe we just need to bolt the two cribs back together like when they were wee babies??
Ken had guests over today – Ted and Alan. They played Wii and hung out. I went and had a nice extended nap in the afternoon and Ken and I even got to go to church with just Emanuel – my mom came over with her boyfriend and watched the twins. All in all a pretty nice Sunday. Though when I got up from my nap the livingroom was a mess – course the guys all cleaned it up!!! Too nice!
Saturday NIGHT did not go so well, nor naptime… the twins were up til midnight! I wonder if we had caved and put them in the crib together would they have slept?? Last night Ken took ALL the toys and books out. They now have an empty bookcase in there. The room feels so barren. I am thinking I would like to get their chairs they got for Christmas last year and put them in there so they could at least rest in them. We also need to go to the unit and get our Learning House out. Mom is taking the twins an extra night this week so we can get some moving of furniture around. I would like to make a little more room in the livingroom.
Emanuel is starting to sleep more, this weekend he has had a couple extra naps… hopefully with next weekend’s time change we will see him getting up around 8. He didn’t change his sleep times when we had the last time change. What a stubborn little man.
This week is not overly busy… We have shopping and that extra night for chores. The reading lady is coming on Thursday morning, as usual and Ken is back to work. Still not on nights though. Hopefully next Saturday will be pleasant out and we can get to a park though I am planning to have Ken drop Emanuel and I off at the library for an hour of quiet reading and relaxing. All in all a rather boring week. Though I plan on getting my aida cloth on Wednesday since Alan was able to bring my books back (one is still AWOL but I am not sure if Xinny has it or not). Now is a good time to get cracking on all those Christmas presents! I plan on being very organized this year.
I just wish time would slow down on the weekends. It always seem over before it has begun…
