Creative Napping

A couple of weeks ago, Kate NaNa and I got the stomach ick. Bless her heart, she also had a double ear infection with massive fever at the same time. The next day, she and I were completely exhausted (thankfully the boys were with Daddy John and Jee). She woke up hungry about 7am, so I took her downstairs and got her a bowl of cereal and some milk. I was so tired and disoriented that when I came back upstairs and "laid down", I dozed off for two hours! When Tim woke up about 9 (he was exhausted from taking care of us yucky people), he said, where is Kate? I told him she had gotten up earlier and was probably happily playing downstairs.

He went downstairs and found this. Based on the amount of cereal still in the bowl, I am guessing she fell asleep about 7:05. (Please do not call social services. I cannot be responsible for my actions when I am tired and/or sick. That day I was both.)
A couple of Sundays ago, we had a jam packed day. We were at church at 8:30am to send Tim off to Chicago, rushed home to get ready for church, and went back to church at 10am. We then scarfed down a quick lunch and went to a birthday party. We then drove to the next town over for Will W's baby dedication, and then back home for a church picnic, where we ate hot dogs and played at the park. At some point in the day, Kate said, "enough", and she crashed. Bless her, she didn't even have the energy to take the birthday party candy out of her mouth.
