Breakfast in Bed...

For me!

The kids surprised me with a sweet breakfast in bed. They brought me toast with jam and a cup of milk. They decorated a shoe box for my tray and brought homemade cards saying, "Sleep well!" on them. (They even cleaned up the kitchen!)

The occasion? The kids know I haven't slept through the night for months now, and they wanted to give me an easy day.

They are so sweet...the best kids a (tired) mom could ask for!

that is soooooo adorable. I love your family! And seriously, the fact that they cleaned up the kitchen to boot--that's amazing!

How come you haven't been sleeping through the night?

I have a "lovely 2 year old" that just cannot manage to stop calling out for mom.......... She averages 2-3 times a night (and sometimes doesn't go back to sleep for a while).
I also have kids coming to tell me about nightmares, wetting the bed, and one night Owen even came in and told me he just made up a poem. Oh, lovely!
6 kids apparently means very little sleep.
