Nap & Paint Struggles

Man, it was such a struggle to get Jackson down for a nap today.  I couldn't believe it.  I tried for 4 hours, then he finally fell asleep.  Well, I guess it wasn't exactly 4 hours....but I have been trying since noon and he only just fell asleep.

I tried his normal routine, didn't work.  I tried lying in bed with him, didn't work.  Tried popping in a movie, didn't work.  I tried a pack n' play, didn't work.  I tried rocking him, didn't work.  So, back in the pack n' play he went because I needed to get some stuff done before sissy woke up....and guess what?  He fell asleep.  Little booger.

At what age did your child(ren) stop taking a regular nap?  My mom said that my little brother stopped at around 16 months.  But, I think that is just too darn early!

Painting our apartment last weekend was hard work.  It took FOREVER!  Well, I guess not forever, we did finish it up in 2 days....but, it was a long 2 days.  We started painting the kitchen and bathroom while the babies were sleeping (nap and bed time) then, my Mom took them for the day on Sunday so we could do the living room and their bedroom.

It looks great, and I might post pictures.....you know, whenever I get around to it.

Do you know what I just realized?  I miss Shania Twain songs.  Like seriously.  I am gonna have to dig out her cd, blow off the dust (because, really, who uses cd's anymore), and pop it into the dvd player.  I have no idea what made me just think of that....but, now I have "Man, I feel like a woman" stuck in my head.  Thanks Shania!

Can you believe Lindsay Lohan violated her probation?  Well, I guess I can believe it...but, I never expected it to be so soon after being released from rehab/jail.  What is she thinking?!?!

Well, I guess that is about all I have.  Not much planned for the weekend, other than a family reunion (which I am not really looking forward to).  Hopefully I can get some good snuggles in with my babies over the next few days, they are growing up too quickly.

I hope that you have a fabulous weekend!
