I was going to blog after putting the children to bed. The boys have been in bed since 8:30. Emily, however, just now gave up and passed out.
Did you know that there is a subtle, yet striking difference between *not sleeping* because you are simply too lazy to get up from the computer and go to bed, and *not sleeping* because your newborn has decided she needs ALL her caloric requirements met at the END of the day? Interesting, really.
The boys have a subfloor in their *real* bedroom. The wiring has been removed and new outlets positioned. WOOHOO! With any luck, I'll be texturing their room on Monday! The wood stove seems to be able to warm their room (we've had the plastic out of the doorway this evening, testing it) - that room is farthest from the wood stove, so that's quite encouraging!
We made our first trek into town today as a family of s-i-x. On the way into town, as we bumped down the back road, every available slot in the pickup filled with bodies, Zorak chuckled and said, "Wow, we have a passle of kids!" Yesiree, that we do. We smiled all the way into town.
And really, it was a quiet day. A productive day. A good day. But I'm just too tired now to really expound on it. SO, I will bid you good night.
Kiss those babies!

A passel of children is definitely something to smile about! Aren't we the lucky ones to know it while it's happening.
It's all so rewarding!
Six is a very nice number :o)
As I read your blog all of the newborn memories come flying back! It is helping me get prepared.
Sounds like you guys are moving right along. Keep up the astonishing work!

Dy, I was marvelling over that very same thing the other day. It *IS* so very different than *choosing* to stay up isn't it?
I'm with you!
Cool! The boys room is coming along so nicely. And isn't it amazing how well a wood stove can heat?
So off all the movies we rented for this weekend, including Enemy at the Gates, guess what we ended up watching? Star Wars. And of course, after watching Anikin/Darth Vader's face melt away, the Boy wouldn't sleep in his own bed,lol. Papa told us a dragon story, which I didn't hear the end of, and then left Boy and I snuggled together in bed. We got 11 hours of sleep! Boy and I never sleep that long, it was great.
We're around today, the goal is supposedly to work on the basement- we'll see if it actually happens.

Just stopped over to say hi. Sounds like all of you quite busy.
Bethany :)
