Marty took Monday off. It was nice, because we got to spend the day together. Sunday we were debating what we should do for and decided that we were going to stay close, just in case he needed to get to the pharmacy. Monday morning we decided to go up to Eugene and spend the day. It's about an hour drive. We took the kids to see the movie UP (really I wanted to see it). Since it has been out for months I didn't have a problem taking the kids. There wouldn't be many people there. Elizabeth and Martin were great. We went to Target and Costco to get some small things and we were in and out quickly. I think our mistake came when we went to dinner. By then, Elizabeth was done. I think she was done a little earlier, but I can't pin down when it was. All I know is that we were out in the car before Marty. During this whole venture, she slept maybe 15 minutes and then was up again. She did sleep in the car on the way home, but I don't think car sleeping is as restful as when you sleep in your bed. Elizabeth was a prime example of that yesterday. Sometimes when I get excited that we are going to go so something fun, I do forget about the consequences of the kids not getting in their nap. It is so true that they are more pleasant to be around and are happy when they get their rest. I am thankful that Martin is still young enough to take a nap where ever he is...car seat, couch, bed, swing....but I know that won't go on forever.

Yes, naps are wonderful things and I love them. I wish my 3 year old still took naps sometimes but since he sleeps 12-14 hrs at night, he is usually pretty good during the day. How did you enjoy your movie? It must be nice to be able to spend the whole day with your husband.
