The question this week is... what do you do with that pesky 4 year old who cannot settle down for a nap, but really, really needs one?
He falls asleep in the car for 2 minutes, but when I try to bring him in asleep and lay him down, he is back up needing to go potty, get a drink, and the usual nonsense. End of nap!!
His behavior is awful in the afternoon and evening with no nap. So now what?

Overheard
Dad to young son carrying nerf dartgun: "Take your toys upstairs to your room."
Young son whining: "It's too dark!!"
Dad: "That's okay. You've got a gun."

Library Book Bags
The kids have wanted their very own library book bags for some time now, but I wanted to make sure that they had something that was uniquely theirs. I thought about getting canvas bags from Michael's or Hobby Lobby and letting them decorate, but those bags are just so YUCK!!
So today when I saw these plans at one of my favorite blogs, I thought AHA! Perfect.
Soon I will be checking out some fitting fabric and hopefully creating bags for my two book lovers that suit them well.

Link To Elizabeth Foss Site
For some reason my link wasn't working to the Elizabeth Foss Serendipity site so try this one instead.
Then click on any of the letters for the stories.

Storytelling
My children have found a new game that they like to play. While bored in the car or while eating meals, they tell stories. Mostly Katie does the storytelling.
The stories are what they have called "Michael stories". Some of you reading this may be thinking that they have to do with Elizabeth Foss' creation of Mrs. Applebee and Michael stories. These are wonderful stories that go through the alphabet and incorporate the flower fairies and the saints all in one.
Nope. Instead their stories revolve around this Michael. For some reason they are absolutely enchanted by him, and have managed to come up with many (at least 15 or more) stories about Michael and his adventures. I am thinking we will have to write them down for Mikey, so that he will know how much his little friends love him.
