Well, we are a bunch of sickos around here. The Knight started getting a cold late last week. The Prince was the next one to get it. Today the Princess came down with the tell-tale hacking cough and sniffles. In an attempt to keep our germs to ourselves, we skipped church and Sunday school and just stayed home today. The plan was to get lots of rest so we would all get better. That didn't happen. Naps were a bust. I think the cold medicine plays a part in this. My kids are normally good sleepers, but when they take cold medicine, they get hyper hyper hyper! We started naps around noon. At 1:00, I went upstairs to find the Princess and the Prince playing in the Prince's room. I told them that "this was not play time" in my grumpiest mommy voice. That made them stay in their rooms at least but they still didn't nap. We did end up going out for a walk tonight. It is muggy as all get out, but we walked about a mile in an attempt to get some energy out of these children. The picture I am posting today sums up the day. We are all tired but we just didn't get to sleep. Here's to hoping tonight goes better than last night when the Prince came downstairs and slept with us for a few hours. That makes it hard for any of us to sleep. Yawn!
