I sympathize with you on the lack of sleep issues. I wish I could say it gets better…but I’m still experiencing this with my youngest, my 4yo, and it hasn’t gotten better for us. He has been up every day for the past week at 3:10am…on the spot! My kids have never been sleepers, but with a little tease of sleeping through the night for a few months and now this, it’s like Chinese torture! What I can say is that your body does eventually get used to it…at least we did. And then, when all are sleeping through the night, I find myself wide awake!!! Good luck…this too shall pass! (And find comfort in knowing that while you’re up where you are…we probably are here, too!!)

I HATE shopping with my kids. I will do anything to avoid taking 4 kids – 3 of them 5 and under out in public together. Anything.

And can I borrow your Christmas song? My 9 month old has 3 or 4 teeth coming in at the same time and I haven’t had a full night’s sleep since ….. I was 7 months pregnant.

All I can say is that having you for a Mommy has got to be Babycakes best gift!!! You, even in your lack of sleep, never seem to miss the beauty of the moment!! Even if toys are flying out of the cart!!

That crayon roll is adorable.

I often think beforehand that taking out three boys at a time is a huge chore but when actually do it, they do fine. It must be a motivation thing for me.

Happy shopping!

Oh, where did you get the yoga pretzel thing? I would love to get something like that for Bella. We did an “ondemand” ABC yoga a few times last summer and she loved it and still asks about it.

I often go grocery shopping at 8pm b/c my kids are in bed and Matt can stay home with them. I do brave the store with both of my kids on a regular basis though and I do kind of feel like I’ve been on an all night bender with a rock band after about an hour and a half. Now all I need is a pair of leather pants.

Isn’t it funny how guys think that grocery shopping, or shopping with our littles at all, is “fun” and a getaway….oy vei. I will hope that you can get your “Good Night’s Sleep.” Just stopping by from SITS.
