Sleeping wars

For the last week or so I feel like I go into battle every night. I think Hazel and Claire have decided to take turns keeping me up all night. Hazel went from sleeping for 6-7 hour stretches to waking up every 2-3 hours. Claire has joined in the fun, and I am not sure why.

Then last night I was watching Letterman interview Jennifer Garner. He was asking her about the lack of sleep she gets because of her two little ones. Her comment was something to the effect of "What is night? I put on my sweats, it is dark outside and I get to take a few naps." I felt like saying "Amen sister!" when I heard it. That is exactly how I feel. I don't get to go to bed at night, rather I get to take a nap in the dark.

I am not sure why I am posting this other than I am tired and feel like whining.

Not happy

After putting the older girls to bed, Hazel and I decided to get the strawberries ready for our jam making fest tomorrow. I don't know about you, but I don't think she was very happy. I am not sure why she was so mad, she had her apron on and we were listening to a little CCR, both good things.

Hopefully she will be happier tomorrow when we make 4 batches of mixed berry and rasberry jam or it will be a long day.

P.S. If you live in the Mesa/Gilbert area, Superstition Ranch market had 8 lbs of strawberries on sale for $3 as of Tuesday. Go get some!

The Dreaded Walrus

I am not sure if it made the national news yesterday, but there was a walrus loose in Gilbert and unfortunatey was coming straight for my girls. Luckly they had red tubs to hide/play in all day to protect them from a walrus attack.

Because I am a shameless mom ....

and I think these pictures are really cute!

I found that other than mixing bread and having an amazing blender, seriously it is the best blender, my bosch is also amazing at putting my sick and fussy baby to sleep in seconds. I think I will be making a lot of bread until she gets better.

My nightly routine as of late
