Another week down. Can you believe Thanksgiving is in two weeks? We aren't doing too much this week. The kids have yet another cold and I think I am getting it. This has been a pretty mild cold so things could be worse.

We are having a lot of sleeping issues here. I love these phases. Add a cold on top of that and things are worse. They would not go to sleep last night and then all woke up at some point. Children and parents are tired today. Katie has had 3 meltdowns before 10am...and she didn't even get out of bed until almost 8:30. It is going to be a long day. Going to the grocery store this afternoon by myself is going to feel like a vacation. They have a Starbucks and I'm getting a Venti. For those with older kids, do they ever start sleeping better?

We are going to a birthday party for our neighbor's kids on Sunday assuming the kids are healthy enough. They have a 2 year old and 1 year old and are having a combined party. I've been tying to teach the kids appropriate party behavior like not opening other people's presents or blowing out their candles. I keep talking about Can You Teach Your Alligator Manners. Those of you who watch the Disney Channel will know what I mean.

Have a great week.
