Movie night

Last night-for something special while Daddy was gone-I pulled the kids mattresses into my room. They laid on them while we watched movies and then I was going to let them sleep in there with me. Let me start by saying NEVER AGAIN!

First of all, we started the evening by web-caming with some of my family. My kids were so busy the entire time. K actually was running in circles behind me. My dad calls her "the blur." She was really making me tired. After we were done talking, we went upstairs, got the beds ready, and got the kids jammies on.

The first movie we watched was Kung Fu Panda. I liked that movie. I think C liked it too. K was her usual self. She could not sit still, couldn't be quiet, couldn't decide where she wanted to sit, spilled her popcorn numerous times..... Oh my!

Next we watched Wall-E. I don't get the hype about that movie. I actually thought it was kinda boring. We got about 1/2 through it and since it was late (11 pm), we decided to turn the tv off and watch the rest the next day. C was already in bed and was asleep in a few minutes. Once again, K was her usual self. Up, down, tangled in her blanket, wanted in my bed, said she had to go potty (what a time to want to do that), etc....... Finally I pulled her in bed with me and after a very stern talking to, she settled down and finally went to sleep.

The night, however, was just as rough. I am convinced that she will forever sleep in a crib. She likes to be up against something--usually the side of her crib--but last night it was me. And I mean CLOSE. By this morning I was hanging off one side of our king bed and she was up against me. She also had woken up once in the night wanting to know where I was.

So needless to say, we are all a little tired this morning. And therefor, the kids are at each other and my nerves are a little short. Besides the fact that we are really missing Daddy today. And to top it all off, we have 9 inches of snow (and it's still snowing). We are all going out to shovel later--hopefully get some energy out. And then we are all taking naps this afternoon. AWANA was cancelled because of the snow, so there is no reason for us to go out tonight. I just need to make sure that I can get out tomorrow afternoon to get Daddy. At least I have 2 days to get the snow out of the way. That's alot of snow! I've never shoveled that much. Should be interesting. I'll take pictures and post them in a few days. For now, I'm off to veg out and drink my coffee!
