Footballs and Tiaras

Some children can't go to sleep at night without their favorite stuffed animal. Aidan and Allie have never been fans. They don't like to share their space (unless that means taking over mom and dad's bed)...Aidan has actually tried to go to sleep with an animal he was playing with, but got all cozy in bed and chucked the bear over the side to get it out of his way.
Last Saturday night, they made it. Completely asleep and the item they wanted to sleep with stayed with them the entire night.

No teddy bear or stuffed doggy....The football got to come to church with us, the Tiara had to stay home :(

The Reason We're So Tired

While I was brushing her hair yesterday for school, Allie shared her big revelation.
"I know why I'm so tired. It's because I always have to wake up in the middle of the night!"
"Why do you wake up in the night?"
"Uh... For school!"
Ah yes, the still, hushed, dark hour of 7:00am...gets ya' every time.
