Fall Break Friday

Today so far...we've made pumpkin-shaped sugar cookies and 3 doz chocolate chippers. After a pasta lunch, Addie served tea & cookies, and now we are off to read halloween stories and take a nap (since they went to bed at 9 and got up at 6, missing 3 hours of sleep, and it shows!)... Tea Party (Peach Crystal Light and sugar cookies)
Addie and James are so cute...

it's warm out (50 degrees) so Heidi is tormenting the neighbor dogs.
There's mama in the kitchen (wearing my England apron today)
...and our tollhouse nummies...we'll eat them in honor of
DEAR COUSIN AUTUMN'S 29th (again) BIRTHDAY
(hope it's a wonderful day--we're so glad you were born, Autumn!)
***
We're aslo celebrating the Bozeman Stake Preparedness Fair,
which is tomorrow at the stake center form 10-2 with free lunch and lots of info.

12 hours of sleep?!!!!!!!1

Jamie said...

Yep...for optimal brain performance and behavior, children 4-6 need 11-13 hours of sleep. We experimented with Heidi, moving her bedtime up 15 mminutes each night until she fell asleep without a fight. Turns out she falls asleep fastest when we do the bedtime routine at 6:45 and she is asleep by 7:20-ish. We had been putting her to bed at 8 and having so many behavioral problems, but she's an angel if she gets 12 hours. Same for James, but he can still squeeze in a nap, and Addie seems to do great at 11 hours now.

after spending a few week days with me, you should understand just how much your little addie is a girl after her auntie's heart with her obsession on tea sets! SUCH an adorable scene with her and bubby!

i heart tea sets.
