Sunday Gingerbread House

We went to church this morning.  I needed to go because I started teaching the 8 year olds (turned 9 this year) now.  It was my first Sunday with them.  Since my kids aren't 100% feeling better quite yet, they were actually quiet and calm.  When we got home this afternoon, they both took naps that lasted several hours.  

This evening, I pulled out a gingerbread house kit that we had and let them go to town.  I thought it would do them some good to work together and have fun.  Lexi was in charge of icing and Jordan was in charge of the candy.  There was lots of giggling and planning going on.      

Nap Time?

I must admit that I have mixed feelings on nap time. Some days, it is heaven sent and I can get a million things done in that short period of time (when I have things at home that need to be done). Other days, I have to stop the errands that I am running and try to get home so Lexi can get the rest she needs. Those are the days that I wonder if I can figure out a way to get over this phase even though she is a bit young. Is there a way to schedule nap time to be every other day & twice as long? I could work with that.

I guess now is not the time to complain. Next year, when I have two of them probably on different sleep schedules...I'll be hating it.
