Well, we had spoken a little too soon, because the next few hours were absolutely miserable!! Jackson and Lexi kept waking up. Every time Jackson woke up, I would have to wiggle my way out of my sleeping bag (Note: there is no way to do this quietly!), grab Jackson, settle back into my sleeping bag with him, and then wiggle back out to put him down once he was sleeping. I must have done that five times in the first two hours. And I swear as soon as I would settle back into my bag and almost fall back to sleep, Lexi would sit up and say, "mom? mom?" I would tell her to lie down and go back to sleep, but she would come lay right by me, then in my bag, then on top of me...changing positions about every 30 seconds. A few hours into the madness, I thought, "the next time one of the kids wakes up, I am going to pack them up and take them home!" Somehow we all finally fell asleep for a few short hours.
Despite the lack of sleep, Lexi did not sit still all morning. She is our little adventurer. And Jackson was content to sit in his chair. (I promise I do still hold him...sometimes! :))
The Tews invited us and a bunch of families over for a pool party/BBQ on Monday. We were there all day. It was a lot of fun. So...we had a great weekend, but it was so exhausting that I am still trying to recover from it!
