Sleeping Beauty

I've been trying not to give Ashlyn naps if I can help it. Ever since she kept me up until 1 am a few weeks ago, naps have been short and sparse. Usually in the car during the afternoon run around. Sometimes she still sneaks one in at home though. 
I found her on the floor like this. I have fought this girl over sleep more than any of my boys. Apparernly, it just has to be on her own terms. 

Best Valentine's Day Cards Ever!

Jacob picked out these valentines to give to his class. They were a big hit at home as well as in the classroom!

Bucket of Blankets

While we were reading scriptures, Adam woke up and went into the bathroom. When he was finished, we expected him to join us like he always does, but he disappeared back into his room. After we were done, Trevor went to check on him and called me to his room to see what he was doing. I thought he had gone back to sleep. But instead, we found him like this:
He has been playing with an old toy bucket. He piled blankets, stuffed animals and light sabers inside, then put himself in and we found him just sitting. He said he was cold.
