FFF #21: Sleeping Habits

Sarah asked us to come up with our own themes this week for Favorite Foto Friday. I've had this one in my mind for a post for awhile so I was happy to actually have an idea, especially after this week (I'm exhausted! LOL)! The girls did great on their second day of school- maddie cried again upon leaving, but perked up on the way home. Here are the girls sounds asleep after their first day of school...

This is how I found Emily...My girls are funny sleepers- always have been. We never really co-bedded them because they were so active. Maddie couldn't sleep in the family crib because it was on wheels and she could get it to move across the floor! Ashley and Emily were together in one crib for awhile but that stopped the morning we went in because Emily was fussing- only to find it was because Ashley was gumming Emily's foot!

So here are some fun pictures I've taken while the girls are asleep. I honestly never know what I will find when I walk into their room each night before I go to bed.

Emily has by far fallen out of bed the most, here she is dangling on the edge of the next fall, we caught her just in time...

Here we didn't catch her until after- but she didn't flinch so I went ahead and took a picture first

I've done this many nights myself...

Lost in thought...

Ashley is a pretty good sleeper- the one time she fell out of bed she took it so personally, poor dear cried like she was mortally wounded. And everyone has loved this picture of Ashley and Tinsel passed out after a long day of play!Madeline is a creature of habit- since she was little she would not go to sleep unless we put a pillow ON her. It freaks me out (especially when she was younger) to do it- but if she falls asleep- well ok! I always go in after she's asleep and move it off- but it never fails that she always gets it back on- she's like an ostrich!Yep- she's in there~ above you can just see the top of her head and below you can see her back peeking out...Maddie has outgrown her Toddler bed- those legs are so darn long! She wore pants that were size 5 today to school!This one made me laugh- she looks like she's practicing the latest head dressing techniques!So there you have it- silly sleeping girls! Of course I can't always get the best kodak moments (usually because I'm too sleepy to look for the camera myself) and I'm saddest about not getting a picture of Emily when I walked out of our bedroom to find her on the floor in the hallway asleep! She had her blanket, it wasn't on her, but it was with her and she was curled up in a little ball. 3 a.m.! I woke Rick up to see that one (and also so he would pick her dead weight up!) LOL

BUT! No sooner did I finish this post when Rick called me over to see this....

That's my girl Emily!

Too see more ideas for FFF, make sure you visit Sarah at Kiss the Frog for Me!

I'm still waiting on a total from Mira's fundraiser- but I can tell you that the triplet canvas sold for $750! I know this because us moms that put it together pitched in to raise that much and to surprise Sheryl :) The canvas will be displayed in the atrium of the new Children's Hospital wing in Mira's area!
