What's up with the sickness?

So the cold bug has still not left our house completely. Though Roewyn is cured and Mayson and Avery just have runny noses, we are still reeling from the lack of sleep. Avery's average actual-fall-asleep-time is around 11:00pm. They go to bed at 9, so it's 2 hours of 'get back in your bed'. And Mayson has had more than a few afternoon naps, which she never does. Avery has a bit of a cough- she is getting pretty good at covering her mouth but sometimes pretends to cough then covers her mouth after we remind her. Kids! I have developed a bit of a cough, nothing major, knock on wood. This picture is the result of a night of Avery not going to sleep until 11:30, and playing in her room with a tub of my lip gloss that she found, unbeknowst to Jon and I. She put about half the tub in her hair. She woke up in the morning looking like this. I told her she looked like a lion and she said 'rarrr'. My trigger finger was quick enough to catch it. And I can still smell the peach-mango on her pillow, even after washing it.


These are the girls playing 'taking care of my baby' as Mayson calls it.

Mayson tells me 'Mom, I'm not sucking on Roewyn's or Avery's soother. This is just a baby soother, so I'm just pretending to be a baby.'

One of Mayson's afternoon naps, in one of her many interesting positions. When she sleeps in bed with you, she's doing this on your back. She is definitely a bed hog.
