Winding Down

Today, we had a pretty relaxing, uneventful day. We were all a bit tired...probably from all of the sun yesterday. I shouldn't say that "all" of us were tired though because Tate was a ball of energy all day! Of course he chooses the one day that daddy and mommy would love to get a nice nap in!

We woke up, and decided to hit the Waffle House for breakfast. It was yummy as usual and Tate got his first taste of eggs which he loved! Then we came home and thought that we would put the kids down for a nap. Tate napped for 15 minutes! Much shorter than his usual 2 hour morning nap! I got him up and fed him and planned to lay him down again in little bit. In the meantime, Sean decided to take a nap. Shark week on Discovery started today, so we had that on the TV all day. We all just sat around with the kids and watched the shows on Discovery and chatted. After Sean woke up, I decided I wanted to take a nap. So, since Tate was STILL up, Sean took Daddy duty and I took a much needed nap. I woke up an hour later to find out that Tate was still awake and not showing any signs of being tired. We decided to try to lay him down and realized that he just wasn't going to have that. We could just tell that for some odd reason, he wasn't tired. He never was crabby or anything, in fact he was the complete opposite...he was happy as could be! I decided to start dinner. I made roasted vegetable pasta and we had chicken and shark (in honor of shark week!:)) After dinner, Ava took a swim with James and we decided to get Tate in his pajamas and have a little wind down time. Tate was WOUND UP! He was being hilarious, so I took a video of him during what was supposed to be our "wind down" time. Ya right! Just after the video was taken, Tate went down without a peep. Although, he's cried out a couple of times since he went down, so we'll see how the rest of the night goes. So, Tate was up from about 9 this morning until 9 tonight! Little stinker!
Ava decided to "moon" us through the window after her swim!
