Saturday Morning Inertia

I got up at 7:30am this morning. Progress. I've been sleeping in a lot lately, past 8am, which makes for a mad scramble to get Mason to school by 9am. So, I am happy to be up early as this will be my reality for the next week while Joe is in Long Beach. It is a luxury to sleep in when one has little children. Mason got me up at 5:30 for the first year of his life. He has always been an early bird but now that he is old enough to entertain himself for the first hour or so that he is awake, we get to sleep in. Talan is always up last. He enjoys sleep like his mom! Of course, Mason often gets himself into trouble being awake alone. We find him eating Popsicles, candy or whatever he can get his hands on. He seems to understand not waking Mom and Dad up but can't quite grasp appropriate breakfast items. To his credit, yesterday he told me he ate a banana. I told him that was a good choice while waiting for the rest of us to get up. He was "starving" today when I got up. We made biscuits and then he also wanted me to make Macaroni and Cheese which I told him was too much work! Once the biscuits were ready there was no more talk of Mac and Cheese. Joe just purchased some Nutella so Mason has been enjoying Nutella on the biscuits. Talan is just too messy with Nutella so when he woke up, I just gave him butter and jam on his biscuits. These boys love opening the biscuit can ("biscuit fart"). They also like to arrange and squeeze the bits of dough on the cookie tray. We have biscuits more frequently than I would care to and they often go bad as they only seem to really enjoy them when they first come out of the oven.

We are off to a birthday party at 10:30 this morning which should be really fun. The weather has become nice and will get into the 70s tomorrow. But snow flurries on on the forecast for Thursday so Spring isn't here for good.
