I think my daughters are officially done with naps.

I am not happy.

Nap time is MY time. We eat lunch, clean up, read a book, then the girls lay down. They sleep for 2-3 hours. I clean, do laundry, read, watch tv, shower, pick my nose. I do whatever I want/need to do. heck, every once in a while I take a nap my darn self.

Nope, not any more. If we lay them down, they do not sleep. They talk, and laugh, and fight, and jump. They have a grand old time. They scream like someone is trying to kill them. They call out "Mommy! Daddy! All done!" They do not sleep.

I repeat, I am not happy.

During our not-nap time, I tried to get them to relax and watch a movie. Beauty and The Beast. yay! I got out their sleeping bags (which are awesome, by the way) and told the girls they were not allowed to get up. K was pretty content to watch the movie in her 'seep bag' for about an hour, which was great. Her sister, P, was not content to sit still.

P was getting up to get Eisbar (polar bear in German) then green bear (good luck bear) then Minnie Mouse, then who knows what else. I got tired of hearing myself, so I stopped telling her to lay down and watch the movie. She was too busy playing with her toys.

So I made bath time crayons. Well, I think I did. We will find out on Friday how well they actually turn out. It's a bar of soap that I grated, added water and food coloring, and then put into molds. They have to set and harden for 2 days. Like I said, we will see on Friday if they actually are bath time crayons!

Oh, and I got my 2011 Catholic Saints calender! yay! I love that thing. It just makes me happy to look at it.
