I love me a good gift exchange!!

I Don't Want to Jinx it.......

Eddie and I found an iPad, 1st addition 32 gig for $399.00 yesterday.  It was a fabulous find and we decided to spend the money to have one.  I was second guessing the purchase all night and even into this morning.  Well, when I got back from the morning school drop off, the girls were finishing breakfast when I had the idea to show them the "gift" daddy bought mom.  When Jacquelynn saw the iPad, her eyes lit up like the night sky on the 4th of July.  She wanted to play immediately.  Asking if I had this game and that game.  To be honest, she knew more about the apps then I did.  So I had this idea......they could earn minutes on the iPad by doing "chores" around the house.  Getting dressed (always a fight) earned 1 minute.  Brushing teeth earned 1 minute, picking up toys earned 1 minute, practicing basketball earns 5 minutes, and so on.  Did it work?  Well, I am happy to report that for the first time ever, when I said go brush your teeth, Jacquelynn went right into the bathroom and brushed her teeth.  When I said pick up the toys, she did it with a smile on her face, knowing that with each toy, her minutes on the iPad were increasing.  I hope this lasts, but I may have finally found the answer to my morning headaches.  Thank you Apple!!

Because I don't get to sleep, I can't let others have that luxury.

I have this weird obsession of taking pictures of people while they are sleeping.  Some I take because the picture is so dang cute, but others......well, I take them because I can.  Let me explain.  My family can fall asleep anywhere.  And I mean anywhere.  I kid you not.  They have been caught sleeping on couches, in cars, on a chair, on the floor, eating dinner, in a high chair, next to the shower, in the closet, at the desk.  The list goes on and on.  It is so not fair.  I am the type of person that never sleeps, but if by some miracle I do, it must be in my bed, with my body pillow, pitch black, not too hot, but not too cold and absolutely NO sounds.  Yeah good luck with that last one living in an apartment community full of obnoxious college students.  Harmonica playing at 1:30 AM!  Are you freaking serious!!!!  Anyway.....so whenever I catch my family sleeping during the day (non sleeping hours) I snap their picture.  I have a nice collection.  My favorite person to catch snoozing is by far Joshlyn.  Oh the collection of mouth open drool shots that I have are priceless.  Her favorite place to sleep is definitely in the car  She passes out cold in the 10 minutes it takes for me to drive from her school to our house.  How is that even possible?!?!?  Anyway, whenever she falls asleep, I pull out my phone and SNAP!  Another addition to my ever growing collection.  The flash sound usually wakes her up mid drool and the fist thing she says it "you suck".  My response is, "you drool".  HAHAHAHA.  I know it is not the nicest thing ever, but it makes me smile.  So, I have decided to share pieces of my collection.  Enjoy.

Daddy and Madison, so precious.

This is how uncle Chris sleeps and watches the kids at the same time.
