Ramblings of a tired mama

Well, I've already started a blog post about our trip to the pumpkin patch, but I don't feel like uploading the pictures right now. So, that will have to wait. (By the way, Jenna, if you still want to go the boys totally want to go again! Is it rude to write personal notes to people on my blog? If it is, pardon me, I'm really tired.)

Why am I tired, you ask? Well, let me tell you. Silas has not been sleeping good. He's only occasionally slept through the night, but I didn't really mind when he woke up. He'd eat really quick and go back to sleep. Not the last several nights. He's woken up several times (at least 3) and been up for a lllloooonnng time (over an hour) and screams and will not go back to sleep. Finally I give up and give him to Eric and he puts him back to sleep. This has left me wondering why. Does he have an ear infection? Was it something I ate? Homemade chili? Pumpkin pie? (I ate that meal for dinner twice in a row). Is he lonely is his new room? Tonight he stayed up later because of cell group and seems to be sleeping well so far. I prayed for him and am believing in faith tonight will be a great night of sleep. Can I get an amen?

You can probably tell from my silly/ridiculous writing that I'm tired. Sorry for the lame jokes. Want to know something funny? Eric usually goes to bed before me, so I can stay up and blog/read blogs/pray/read my Bible/read books/generally just have some quiet, alone time. When I get into bed he's super affectionate. He says "I love you soooo much!" and calls me "honey buns" and "sweetie" and hugs me and kisses me. And then, when I ask him about it in the morning, he has no idea what I'm talking about. All of it is in his sleep. Sometimes I can't stop laughing because I know he won't remember any of it in the morning.

Well, since Silas is going to have an amazing night of sleep tonight I guess I should get to bed and take advantage of it. Oh yeah, one more thing. I ordered Judah's (and Samuel's, because if one has something, the other has to have it, too) birthday present tonight. I can't believe my precious baby boy will be 4 a week from today. (You'll be hearing a lot more about that, though). Goodnight!
