Bed Time

It is quite possible that the two most beautiful words in the english lanuage are 

BED TIME.

(The second most beautiful words are nap time.)

And because BED TIME is such a BEAUTIFUL TIME it requires a very precise and beautifully orchestrated routine.

1- Jammies

2- Scriptures

3- Potty

4- Teeth

If the first four steps are achieved with minimal whining then we move to 4-a.

4-a = Playing two minute tackle with Daddy-O.

And lemmie tell ya, two minute tackle with Daddy-O is NOT a prize one should let slip through their fingers.

After that we move on to

5- Prayers

6- Stories

7- Songs and kisses goodnight.

Longest. Month. Ever.

Dear January,

 

Seriously though. You have been the longest month in the history of months. I mean don't get me wrong. I am so grateful for the snow you have brought us - heaven knows we needed the water! But how's a gal supposed to enjoy this white winter wonderland when it's accompanied with this:

 

 

Yes folks, that's right. -17. At 8:30 am. Sick.

 

And speaking of sick, the sniffles we've had up in this house have been unreal.

Thank Heaven, AGAIN, that the baby didn't get sick. And thank Heaven, ONE MORE TIME for Kleenex's brilliance of putting lotion in their tissues. There are a few things you just can't skimp on folks, and tissues are one of them. Garbage bags are another, but that's a post for another day.

At least we made the most of our "down sick time" with a bountiful trip to the library and our ever growing stock pile of minky blankets...love the stuff.  

 

So January, you have done well in increasing our snuggle time and jammie time and hot chocolate time but now it is FINALLY time to bid you farewell.

 

ADIOS!!
