this week

This is the way every night ends. Right now it takes about an hour and a half from bathtime to bedtime to get the boys ready for bed each night.

Tyson has been waking up on his own anywhere between 5:45 am and 6:30 am. He used to stay in the bed until we went to get him anywhere between 7:15 and 9:00...now he slips out of bed (without making a sound) opens his door and two pocket doors to get across to our room. He has also learned to turn his monitor off if he wants to get out of bed to play...smarty pants...but he does not realize that we have a video monitor as well. When he turns his monitor off...he is always so shocked to see us "catch him." The above pic is Tyson "dressed" to get breakfast for "the girls" at the office...notice blue pjs, black hat, camo crocs, and pink paci. When you wake up early you have to "work" So he helps take out the trash and get the newspaper too. I am usually feeding Baby Mike bewtween 4 and 6 am...but when i hear the pitter pat of Tyson's little feet...I have a sudden urge for coffee...lots of coffee.

Tyson is showing his cousins and friends his big boy room. We thought not attaching the bunk bed ladder would prolong the urger to climb....uuuhhmmm...not so much.

Every night...God reminds me how blessed we are.
