There Were Five In the Bed and the Little One Said...

"Let's just kick Mom out - more room for us!"


See the evil grin?


So it's officially Thanksgiving and I have yet to post my Halloween pics, but they are coming soon, I promise. This post, inspired by a little child-induced insomnia, is destined to be short....It is 3:22 a.m. and I am merely stalling while I plot my strategy for how to get back into bed. The two oldest were safely tucked away elsewhere at a nice reasonable hour, only to wake each other up and climb in with us minutes after I finally went to sleep. No wonder this is my favorite Hathor comic:

It is actually signed and framed on the wall of our bedroom - a little Mother's Day present from Leo. Ah, the many joys of the Family Bed!

The hat has left the building...

But not before I got pictures...This is the first gift I've made for a non-family member and I was frankly a little sad to see it go. It is going to an adorable little boy belonging to Leo's former boss. Coming soon - Halloween pics and the Anatomy of an Alien Abduction.
