Backyardigans and other such nonsense

The last few days have been like a big deep breath.

*exhale here*

We've been going, going, going lately.

And starting Friday the merry-go-round starts back up

so it's been nice to have a couple days of normalcy and  routine.

But it can't be all rest and no fun.

Landon thought our four days of nothingness was the 

perfect time to start transitioning from two naps to one.

1 nap vs. 2 naps:

PROS: 

longer time period in the beginning to the day to do something:

grocery shopping, errands, fun, play-dates, etc.

one long stretch of time all to myself:

up to 2.5-3 hours!

CONS:

no morning "rest":

it's Landon from 7 a.m until 12pm (5 hours!)

when do I shower? 

read blogs 

clean-up the breakfast mess? 

read my Bible? 

Looks like my new habit of waking up at 6am 

to get things done for myself is already out the window

I'll be getting up at 5:30am.

OR

Landon will be watching a few more episodes of his favorite show The Backyardigans 

on the computer.

See how much he loves it:

careful you don't catch a fly, son

In other news I spend much too long the other night making my blog look "cuter".

I was inspired by my super adorable sister-in-law Jessica and her super-de-duper cutie blog and new esty store. Check it out here.

It was actually so much fun playing around in Photoshop 

and browsing the web for secrets to html code. 

Who knew I had an inner graphic artist/computer programer inside.

And finally, 

Tomorrow is our last day of "nothingness" until August 17th.

I think I'll bake something.

Because I'm weird and I find sifting flour relaxing.
