sunday morning.

Photobucket


harper decided to be wide awake {and fussy} from noon to 9 p.m. yesterday, and again at 2-4 a.m. this morning.

serena threw up all over her bed and self in the night. {why does she not wake up & cry when this happens???}

bathed serena first thing this morning {which she was not happy about}.

put all of her bedding & stuffed animals in the wash.

dealt with her whining all morning.

she refused to eat breakfast.

she threw a fit about getting dressed.

she begged for the rest of the morning to go out to the car.

sean finally took her out to the car and waited there for 20 minutes while i got myself & harper ready.

got harper dressed in her church outfit.

picked her up to put her in the carseat and she spit up all over her clean outfit, the couch, and my skirt.

i took her to the car and she went to church in her spitty outfit.

i ran upstairs, washed my skirt, dried it with my hair dryer.

went to ward choir with the baby, and serena running all over the chapel, playing the piano, begging for dad {who was printing the programs, getting chairs, etc.}.

made it through the sacrament without having to take serena out. then she saw the kid behind us had goldfish crackers and had a slight meltdown.

sean took her to the car to get our goldfish crackers.

and then she was out.

she made it through 10 minutes of nursery, and then had to go home to take a nap.

harper, who had slept all morning & all during church, was then wide awake.

so much for mom & dad's afternoon naps.


we're tired. and praying for the day when harper gets into a decent schedule.

Oh, man you are right in the thick of it! Sundays are especially hard because everyone has to be presentable and well-behaved at the same time, and that is so hard to accomplish with young kids! Hang in there!

Funny, when the choir was singing I was thinking how put together you looked! Later I saw Sean carrying around a sleepy Serena and was a little jealous because our baby no longer sleeps on us EVER for ANYTHING. Now I know better. :D

Oh oh oh!!!! That is SO PAR for the course!! I'm sorry, and I feel your pain...

Claire will play inside the car for hours--is that how Serena is? She likes to play in the car?

janessa, she doesn't love playing in the car... it's just that she's been so cooped up the past week, he really wants to go somewhere! she also stands at the window often and begs to go outside :( poor girl!
