Adventures in O'ville: 5 minute nap

After getting up early for the last two weeks to work out, it finally caught up with me today. Around 12:30pm the kids were supposed to be napping, so I thought I would be able to sit for a few minutes and just relax.. yeah.. the kids boycotted nap so... I had to get creative. Here are 5 ways to get a 5 minute nap that I came up with today.

Let your child "fix" your hair. You can close your eyes while they work!
Lay down on the floor and let the kids drive their cars over your back!
Close your eyes and tell the kids to go hide while you "count"... ;o)
Get a basket full of towels, dump it out and let the kids "help" fold clothes while you rest.
Get the phone, call someone who would want to talk to the kids and let them have a good 5 minute conversation.

Enjoy your 5 minutes!

All About Zoey

Born: December 2, 2005
Weighed: 6 pounds, 13 ounces.
Height: 21 inches

Zoey is 7 years old. She is my baby girl. My love that only a mother and daughter could have. She is my tomboy who likes sparkly things. Zoey is in 1st grade and she is a social butterfly. She doesn't meet a stranger and the more friends she has the better. Zoey loves to play with bugs, lizards and frogs. She also likes to play with her brothers and tell them what to do. Zoey loves singing and dancing. Anything to make someone smile. This past year she has really gotten into art and I am truly amazed at her ability to draw and color and bring out details that many would leave unnoticed. Zoey is our surprise blessing that I am continually grateful to God for.

All About Nathan

Born: April 7, 2008
Weighed: 8 pounds, 3 ounces
Height: 20 1/2 inches

Nathan is 5 years old. He is the baby and uses that fact to his advantage. He is a cuddlebug and a wrestler. He adores his big brother and makes it his mission to do everything that Jon Kent does. Nathan is a momma's boy and I wouldn't have it anyother way. His favorite pass times currently are playing with action figures, crewing on his "banket" (blanket) and getting as dirty as possible. Nathan marches to the beat of his own drummer. He is stubborn and strong willed, but doesn't like going to time out. He is a leader and I pray God can use him to lead others to Christ.
