Makes my Monday - oh sweet slumber!


Playing along with Cheryl.

We had a great weekend for sleeping and this really really makes my Monday. On Friday afternoon the kidlets had a Bootcamp party (more about that tomorrow) and my word, did we have an early night with them. Literally to sleep the moment we had them in bed and slept through until 6:30. Bliss!

On Saturday The Boys had a nap while the Lil Miss and I were in the shops after her party and she had a nap as we got home. After some painting and outside play every kid in the house peacefully fell asleep and slept to 7 o'clock on Sunday morning. For recent circumstances (like a 5 am wake time) - a record!

After our party at Zita park yesterday we managed to keep the kidlets awake and make it home without a sleeper. After a 10 minute crying stint from an overtired Little Man L we all (and that includes Hunter and I) had an hour and a half nap. Some kidlets slept a bit longer. This is one of about a handful of occasions where we have ever managed this! And last night was our third sleep through in a row and Hunter and I actually woke up by ourselves without alarm clock or kids this morning at about 6.

I tell you, nothing but nothing like sweet sweet slumber.

  2. If you want to see one cranky mom, then wake me up a few times at night. Hubby can function with 1 hour's sleep. I cannot!!

    As a sometimes insomniac, there is nothing that sounds better than long, uninterrupted sleep!

  9. Still, getting up at 6 am on a weekend sound like he-- to me...you must be a morning person - thank goodness my husband falls into that category because my timeclock doesn't work that way!!

  10. oh.....sooooooooo jealous here! I keep telling myself to go to bed sooner, but never do (my fault!) The kids aren't too bad lately but its rare a night goes without at least one waking me. And since I don't get to bed when I should...most nights are 5-6 hours or less :-(
