GO TO SLEEP!!!

I know when my kids are tired. I am their mom. It's one of my jobs. There are times when I know they are tired and I don't make them take a nap. Most of those times, I end up regretting it more than anything in the world. Today, we woke up at 4:30 in the morning to take Tyler to the airport to fly to Omaha. The only thing that got me through the morning was knowing that nap time was not far away. I was kind of counting the minutes from the time we got home so I could take a nap myself. I need sleep, people. To make a long story short, those two would NOT take a nap!! Of all days! I went through several attempts to get Calvin to stay in his bed and he kept coming up with tactics to get out. You know, going to the bathroom, getting a hug, needing a drink, asking where daddy was, and finally this one...

He came out and had changed his clothes and put on this hat and shoes.
He would later ask me to put the necklace on that he brought out.
These two........I think I will sell them to gypsies. Or my favorite threat: put them in the garbage.
