Sweet Sleep or the lack thereof

Everyone is asleep, except for me. I should be asleep. I'm tired. I love to watch my hubby sleep. I love to snuggle with him. I love that when he rolls over, he puts his arms around me so I can snuggle him up close. I love to see my children sleeping. Laurel is so cute in her crib. I love that she will let me rock her to sleep. (especially because she is such a stinker about standing in her crib.) Rachel needed snuggles and a book tonight because she was scared of spiders crawling up her nose. I told her spiders don't want to go in there. There are BUGGERS in there! David is sleeping on his couch on the floor of his room surrounded by blankets and sleeping bags and who knows what else, that Jacob pulled out in an effort to find his Sunday shirt. Only, Jacob never did find his shirt. So, he wore one of his dads. It was pretty funny to see him try on his old Sunday shirt! My has he grown. Jacob is sleeping with the fan in his face. He is his mother's boy. Abby found her way to the couch. Were she was sleeping under one of Laurel's blankets. So of course, I found a bigger blanket and draped it over her.
I did find tonight while rocking Miss Laurel that she holds her breath every 3rd breath. It's been 3 hours since I put her to bed and she is still doing it. Weird. Her heart rhythm sounds funny to me too. Never give a mother a stethoscope. She will be all kinds of paranoid. We'll bring it up with her dr. this week at her appointment.
Jacob indulged me earlier today and sat at the piano and sang with me. Love that boy's voice. I got caught up listening to Winslow sing in choir today. The only time Winslow sings in the choir is when his wife is the director. He loves me. He also has an amazing voice. But he only sings in church to the hymns. Stinker :). Abby and Rachel practiced singing with me for their primary program. It's fun to sit and sing with my kiddos.
Jacob and Winslow had a wild afternoon protecting goats and a sheep from two dogs.
It's been raining daily. I am looking forward to my skylights being reinstalled in some future day. Soon I hope. I'm ready for more light in my day!
I have spent hours on pinterest looking up all sorts of fun things to do with David for Kindergarten. This year I am trying in all of our schooling to slow down. Learning to take time to spend extra time on the stuff we really want to learn more about. my anxiety freaks out a little, while I let my creative side shine a little more. But, it's one of the reasons I like Home schooling. So be quiet little anxiety. Creativity creates lasting memories.
I keep sitting in our addition planning all sorts of fun things I am going to do with all that space. It's still a long way off from usable, but we are moving forward!
