sleeping in?

Saturday is usually the one day when Ehren and I like to sleep in.  Not like past 9am sleeping in, that never happens :), just 7:30-8:00 is ideal for us.  Now that the kids are all out of the diapers and cribs, we are trying to train them in letting us sleep a little on Saturday.  Well, it's on and off depending on which one of them wakes up a little crabby. :)  Today was a bit of an off morning.  Kade is old enough to just go and find something quiet to do but Kason and Anika think "we're up, let's do our loud role playing, etc".  They usually end up in Ani's room and are to a point of yelling about this or that while Ehren and I try to snooze a little more.  Sometimes one of us yells out for them to be quiet but that usually doesn't last too long.  So this morning I finally got up because I couldn't sleep with the noises anymore.  But I really can't complain about our kids' sleeping habits because I know so many parents whose kids still at 3 or 4 years old don't sleep all night by themselves or are up way too early.  So I realize that our kids going to bed within minutes of us putting them down at 8pm and getting up at 7am is not that bad at all.  I should really be happy that Kason and Ani are such good buddies that they cannot play apart and from the moment they wake up they want to be together.  It is so sweet when I think about it yet I can get so mad at them for being loud or wild.  It is the prospective and how I choose to look at things that bother me.  Here's to a happy Saturday and choosing to smile at my kids.
