When Irene hit, we had no power for a weekend, and no cable or internet for a week or so.  We were getting pretty bored and forced to entertain ourselves with what we had on hand…

Perhaps we should invest in some board games before the next storm.

I was walking down the hall this morning, and came across some Barbie carnage  laying on the floor.  I asked the girls why they didn’t throw away the broken dolls when we were sorting through toys to move to the new house, and they had no answer.  So I told them to pick them up and throw them in the trash now, because really, what do they need with several naked headless Barbies?

Their response?  But MOM!  What if we want to play zombies?

The boys fell asleep in the living room tonight.  Both of them- which is slightly unusual.  Quite often, one or the other will fall asleep before we put them in bed, however for the two of them to do so pretty much simultaneously is rare.   They’ve never been big on being on the same schedule.

Ryan dozed off on the floor, among all his toys.  Aside from the fact he’s a night owl and he went to sleep at an early hour, this is rather normal.  He often passes out for naps surrounded by toys.  I did find it amusing that he didn’t wake when Aaron picked him up to put him in his crib.

Dylan on the other hand- well his choice of sleeping location was nothing like his brother’s idea of laying on the carpet on his belly.  Nope, he’s a different one, that guy.  While the couch seems like a completely normal and rational choice, Dylan has to do it differently.
