Sleeping children

I thought I would send these pictures because they represent the oddest places that I've found the kids asleep. Ethan usually drops where ever he is tired. At the computer, the dinner table, my rocking chair. I think that I found him under the table once too.
Josh, on the other hand, doesn't just crash where ever. He is a night owl like his daddy. He can stay up past midnight and still complain when it's time for bed. In this picture, he decided that he didn't like always sharing a room with Ethan so he made his own "room" in the kitchen island cupboard. He brought some clothes, his pillow and a few toys. That night Ryan and I were on a date and when we came home, our babysitter pointed out that Josh had fallen asleep in his new room! Quite uncomfortable. He claims that he was faking asleep while I took the picture, but he was OUT!
Lastly is Abby. She, like Josh, usually doesn't just drop when she's tired. She just gets cranky. One day she was being too quiet so I decided to investigate. Whenever things get too quiet at my house I start to worry. It took awhile to find her, but I had to laugh when I saw her.

My kids have never done that. I think it is odd just when they fall asleep on the couch or on the floor. I think Allison has fallen asleep on the floor twice and both times I was totally amazed. Holly will fall asleep on the couch watching movies but other than that, they just sleep in their beds.

oh so funny. Nice to have a little collage of all the kids in their funny moments. They look so sweet when they are sleeping don't they?
