After two months of horrible sleep in the Morris household, we had 5 GREAT nights in a row. We're almost positive that it was the antibiotics that they were taking for ear infections that were causing all the wakings. I actually got a stretch of sleep from 11:30-5:00 one night! I seriously feel like a new woman. My mind has reawakened, and I'm thinking once again: "Spring garage sale? Should I move that frame? What books do I want to read next?" I'm planning my garden, reorganizing, rearranging. Oh, and did I mention how much more free time I have on my hands? Not only are Seth and Sam sleeping better at night, they are finally napping for 2.5 hours in the afternoon (I was lucky to get an hour stretch during their sickness!) And, because I'm sleeping for a full 8 hours at night, that means I don't have to nap when they do! I can have long devotions, read, blog, clean...have fun...yes, maybe start scrapbooking again. Thank you, Lord, for sustaining us during a exhausting couple of months. And thank you for sleep!
Here's a little project I was able to do yesterday during the boys' naps: treats for friends and neighbors. Yum! (Notice the little fingers faded out in the background. Evidently because the treats were on the boys' table, they thought they were fair game. I had to fight them off to take the picture!)
Glad your boys are sleeping!! :) Amazing what 8 hrs can do for you, huh?
ReplyDeleteAlso, what are those treats? They look amazing!
So glad you are all getting some rest.
ReplyDeleteYour treats look delicious. :)
