The kids are napping.  Lex called in &#8220;tired&#8221; to school this morning and stayed home and played SUPER sweetly with Eve all morning.  I&#8217;m pretty nauseous today and it was nice that they entertained each other so well.  I think the time change may have affected him more that it has in the past.  Or more that I remember it affecting him in the past anyway.  They&#8217;ve been going to bed at about the same time each night, but he isn&#8217;t falling asleep until 9:30 or 10pm and then I have to wake him up for school every morning!  Ugh.  Last night it was 9:30 before he fell asleep, then when we went in to check on him at 11pm we discovered a wet bed.  He threw a horrible tantrum in the middle of the night because he didn&#8217;t want to change his PJs and then continued the tantrum when he discovered I&#8217;d thrown his blanket into the wash.  It was almost an hour before he was back to sleep.  I decided then that he could skip school today and get caught up on his sleep.  Guess what?  Eve woke him at 6am anyway!  But he wanted to stay home so I let him.  It was nice.  They entertained each other so nicely, playing &#8220;Mr. Tomato Head&#8221; and building a fort and throwing a party for pink baby.  It&#8217;s always someone&#8217;s birthday around here!  Lex even read books to Eve and helped her sound out words.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/IMG_1709.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2143\" title=\"Quilt strip pile\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/IMG_1709-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Quilt strip pile\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>Now they are napping, the sun is shining, and I am working on my new hobby.  Quilting!  :)  Baking makes me fat and knitting aggregates the carpal tunnel, so I thought I&#8217;d try quilting.  After two days of trouble-shooting my sewing machine I&#8217;m finally on my way!  I&#8217;m making a modified &#8220;around the world&#8221; pattern, under careful guidance from my friend who already knows how to quilt :)  Basically it&#8217;s shades of white and purple squares, like a checkerboard.  I&#8217;ll let you know how it comes out.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/IMG_1705.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2142\" title=\"Quilt pieces\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/IMG_1705-500x375.jpg\" alt=\"Quilt pieces\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/IMG_1705-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/IMG_1705-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is a beautiful day today.
