The Algeras

This picture is deceiving. I think Sara and David made a no sleep pact this morning. Sara took no nap at all. David took cat naps. Mom is tired!

It was cold today but we still got some outdoors time. I bundled them up and let Sara race up and down the sidewalk for a bit. I thought it would tire her out - but no such luck. She does like running "Ready, set, go now!"

Grandma and Aunt Ellen and Andrew came for a little visit this morning. Sara was very excited; she loves playing with her cousins. Ally was hanging out with Grandpa for the morning - Sara is still asking when she gets to see her again.

Sara had her favorite veggie for dinner - "beans green, Mommy! Thank you!" It's funny because she would not touch baby food green beans. David learned to pull the cow toy on his seat and make it play Old MacDonald while we were eating. He was very pleased with himself.

Ben has taken the after dinner shift because I needed a break from the continuous noise. David is snoozing in his seat and Sara is demanding storybooks. She learned the word 'again' from someone and puts it to constant use. "Read new fish again! Read gecko book again! Millions of Cats - again!"

This is a Friday night with kids! I did get to go out -to the grocery store. Now we're hoping they go to bed at a decent time so we can watch America's Toughest Jobs in a quiet house.

Thanks for all the welcome back comments! I like comments, it lets me know that people actually do read what I write and I'm not totally boring. Keep them coming!
