From Reno`s to Sleep

Life has been a whirlwind around here but in a good way. Spring fever or something close to it (will the snow ever go away!?!) has taken hold in our house and we have projects sprouting up everywhere.

The big celebration right now is that we have completed the reno`s we were doing on Gabe`s room to the point that he could move back in - he was sleeping in our room for the past couple weeks and it really wasn`t working that well. He is a pretty light sleeper and so am I and so between the two of us we were up at least once, sometimes twice a night. So to say the least I am pretty pumped about getting back into a better routine:)

Speaking of sleep, Eliana slept walked for the first time last night. I have heard her sleep talk quite a few times but I`ve never really worried about her getting up and wandering around at night! So last night I was in bed reading when I heard some scuffling noises out in the living room but I figured it was just the cat. A few minutes later I heard a big loud `BWWRRRTTTT`(That is a fart sound) I was pretty sure that it wasn`t the cat (lol) and so I went to investigate. I found Eliana curled up on the floor between the footstool and the chair. I asked her what she was doing there and she groggily told me she couldn`t find her `Bee`(which I will have to do a full blog about at some point) I put her back in bed and found her Bee which was still on the bed and all was well. She really comes by it honestly.

Ed is the funniest sleeper. Its not that he does anything really strange or anything but he does sleep talk and sometimes elaborate with hand gestures. I was told how to build a box one night. Anyway his biggest quirk to do with sleeping is that he can do it anywhere, anytime. Seriously. Movie theaters, doctors offices, obviously any vehical, and of course at home at 8:15pm like he is doing right now. I think I envy this ability most the time because once he is asleep there is no getting through to him. Although It`s probably good that we both are not like this because who knows how our kids would survive!!!
Eliana knows who to harass in the morning....all she has to do is say my name a few times and I am usually up. Although on weekends when we are trying to sleep in I will sometimes ignore her and then she ups her game to turning on my bedside lamp and pointing it right into my face.
Smart little critters. :)

So back to the reno thing - we just have trim and a new door to install and then Gabe`s room will be finished. Yay. I will definately post a pic of it when its done.
