All Smiles

 A weekend photo. Thanks to the pandemic, everyone can sleep in!

Camp Mystic Lake: Snoozin'

As the summer wore on, waking up every morning with reveille was getting harder for the A-team. They preferred to sleep in on the weekends, so we let them.

Mr. T, however, had other plans most weekend mornings.  

Here he is and you can see his utter contempt for being interrupted during such an important, um, viewing:

Bedtime with Bozos

Bedtime is an extremely long ritual in our home.  Below is photographic evidence from two of our three kids demonstrating why.  Apparently one has to document a variety of moods before one goes to sleep:

Where is the third child?  Probably still brushing his teeth ;)

Sleeping Beauties

I never tire of watching these two sleep.

I mean, sure, I'd like to be sleeping too, but....  there are photos to be snapped!

New Nap Style

Over the past month or so, Noah developed a new way to soothe himself while he drifted off to sleep:  the hand-in-mouth technique.  It seems that one or two fingers wasn't enough for him.  He needed the whole hand.

Sleepy Guy

The most peaceful thing to watch?  A sleepy Noah....

Bundle of Energy

Lately Tate is a bundle of energy and doesn't slow down for anything unless you put him in a carseat.  Then it's a relatively fast and incredibly cute lights out:

Roomies

Their room was feeling a bit snug, so we decided to spring for a bunk bed.  They love it!

Downtime

Every now and then, we get a moment to just sit:

Too Fast for Mommy

One morning, Tate was too fast for MLM to catch him on camera:

Think you can catch me?  Ha!

And... I'm off!

With a quick break to suck on my two fingers (my fave!)

Be quick!  I'm going to take off again!

Not So Sleepy

Adam isn't so sleepy in this photo.  He just wanted to show us how cute he is when he's snuggled in bed.

Hunkered Down

The snow has sent Adam and Ashley into "fort-mode".  Hunkered down in their room, surrounded by more stuffies than either of them can count on their collective fingers, they're ready to wait out the next blizzard.

Hard to spot the citizens in their not-so-natural habitat

Snoozer

The best part of this clip is the first 3 seconds.  After that, bliss:

Wake up! Wake up!

One morning everyone woke up smiling, so we snapped photos to remember the occasion.  Google even helped us with an auto-awesome!

Ready for Rugby

Tate is ready for rugby.  Once he wakes up, of course.

Sleeping Baby

All washed up, cozy and asleep.  Just how we like 'em!
