The Chanukah Miracle(s)

Aimless and I had a play date for our kids this weekend. We were planning on having lunch and lounging around watching the newest Harry Potter DVD, The Prisoner of Azkaban. We figured we get to see the movie in 30 minute spurts because the kids wouldn't be able to entertain each other for longer than that without needing our attention. But we accomplished the impossible this weekend. We got 3 kids to nap at the same time, so we watched our movie uninterrupted!

The kids didn't actually fall asleep at the same time, but they tired out from playing together, so they were all zoning when we put the movie on. Baybgirl was enthralled by the movie (actually she was probably just really tired), and she sat quietly in my lap until she fell asleep (which was about 30 minutes in to the movie). The next to nod off was Bee - she crawled into Aimless's lap, and she was out about 15 minutes after Babygirl was. Finally Bug, got to climb into his mom's lap when she put Bee in the bedroom, and then he fell asleep too.

Another accomplishment was that our husband's didn't ditch us play golf this time. What miraculous play date indeed!
