An Update: We are still not sleeping in our house.
Solution for Now: Thinking Positively.
Seriously, Today was a really great day. Here are a few of the reasons why:
- Deakon has learned to clap his hands. He has been clapping his feet for a year or so, but the hand coordination has been tougher for him. All day today, every time he heard clapping on TV, or he did something he thought was cool...he clapped for himself. And he has the cutest look on his face while doing it. He knows he's hot stuff. It is impossible to be unhappy when you have a midget-sized cheerleader clapping for you all day long.
(How can you not love this kid?)
- My Abby is a walking oxymoron. She is such a little smart lipped girl with attitude, but on the other hand, she is so innocent and naive. She truly always just believes the best about people, even when they aren't being so nice to her. I love that about her, and hope it never changes.
(At her last dance competition, with her friend. She has another one tomorrow - I wish I could upload videos to post that. It is quite entertaining :)- Due to my lack of sleep, I am a little snappy and emotional. But, I am really trying so hard not to be. I came home tonight from Classic Skating with the kids to find a dozen red roses, candy and a bottle of full calorie Pepsi (The closest I can get to hitting the bottle) waiting on the counter for me. Blair had gotten me my three favorite things and he did it on is own, as a surprise. It made my week.
*I have to credit Ashley C. with inspiration for this post. I've loved her past posts about her favorite things; they have made me re-look at some of my days. Thanks Ashley.

It always amazes me how quickly my day can be turned around by any of those:
flowers
candy and
soda (dc for me though!)
Good work to the hubby. And cute post. Keep sneaking in those zzz's during cartoons. Thats a life saver at our house. ( yep- good parenting!)
Go Deak!! and 'atta boy' to Blair for being thoughtful!!
hey jenny, it's kelli's sister. i did hold deakon at the candy factory and i didn't want to give him back. What a sweet little boy. I just love him. You are such a great mom to him and an inspiration to so many people. I love reading your blog. both your kids are beautiful. hope you get some sleep soon!;)
So sweet of Blair!! I was telling Jake about Abby at the doctors office last night and her cute comment about having to wait. Couldn't stop giggling. Kids are so smart! If you keep up this no sleep thing you are going to have to come visit again. Good idea.
Maybe we should have a girls night out. Things are so crazy and I hear ya on the no sleep. Problem is, a girls night out might turn into a big fat nap!
Hey I'm ready for a night out without the kiddos or hubbies let me know where and when and I'll be there!
