-- I am sitting in a dark living room this morning relishing my five minutes before either a) kids wake up and need things or b) I have to head to work. It's nice.
-- I need to go water my plants though. The rain that was supposed to hit obviously side-swiped my house. No rain. Dry as a bone plants. My resolution was not just to plant them, but to keep them alive. Pretty sure that means water.
-- The elder child woke me up twice last night crawling into bed and kicking me (he's a very restless sleeper). No 1 is my middle of the night job, since he always comes to me anyhow, and I don't mind relatively. But boy, does it make for some groggy mornings.
-- Neighbors over tonight; grilled shrimp and they are bringing the sides!
-- We went to a local favorite restaurant last night because we had a Groupon (I always buy two for the place when they offer them, love that place). We gave No 2 his first taste of frozen yogurt. Big mistake, because then he just kept grunting for more and it was so funny that we gave him more ... let's just say he had a lot of fro-yo.
-- We need to get No 1 a new bed - he's not necessarily too big for the toddler bed, but he IS a restless sleeper so he hits the wall a lot and it's a) annoying b) I think that's what is waking him up in the middle of the night. The end game plan was for bunk beds, but should we get them now, or just a single and change to bunk beds when the Younger is ready?
-- I hear stirring from the other room. Better go water my plants before I have to gather up cereal, sippy cup and Disney ...

You and I had the same goal for plants this year. I started off good, but once the rabbits started eating the tomatoes just as they were ripening, well, I gave up. Now I have pots full of dry dirt and brown leaves. Ugh!
My advice on the bed is to either buy the bunk beds now, if you can find ones you like for a good deal or just get a mattress/boxspring and set it on the floor for S (what we're doing) since the baby is much too little to need a big bed yet. Just leave him in the crib. (We also added a bed rail on the mattress for Fuss because she tends to be a wild sleeper and turns and flops all over the place and that keeps her IN the bed.
