best buds.... sometimes

So, I put my boys down about an hour ago, right around 7 pm. Neither had naps today and they've been acting like they were ready for bed since around 5 pm. It is now 8 pm and they have been screaming at one another for an hour straight. I'm not sure what to think of it. Gideon keeps trying to bite Jasper, Jasper keeps hitting Gideon. I've been in and out of their room about 20 times. I just asked them "do you want your mommy to go crazy? Then, please, stop fighting with one another". I think I understand why my mom always asked for peace and love each birthday and Christmas.

Rob is out of town this week and doing the solo parent thing is really not my cup of tea. I get so exhausted by this time of day that it is really hard for me to make good parenting choices... We had a really, really busy day and I think the boys are just over tired.

Since Jasper and Gid are having such a hard time with one another, I thought I'd put some pictures of them getting along up on the blog. That way, when they wake up tomorrow morning I can show them and remind them about how much they love one another ;)

Oh Sara, I didn't realize you were on your own! Call me when you need some adult interaction :)

If it makes you feel any better- both of my boys are napping (they haven't been napping lately, but got banished to naptime today because they were fighting outside too much earlier). hang in there!

We used to NEVER fight ;)

Hey Sara,
Don't feel weird reading my blog, because I've totally read your blog a few times through Caroline's blog :). Did your mom tell you that when I was at a friend's bbq, one of the guys there told me I reminded him so much of someone but he couldn't think of who. Finally he said, "I finally figured out... you remind me of a girl I went to high school with, Sara Rampton." I laughed, because the fact that I don't know you but know your parents was so random. Maybe we are kindred spirits from afar :). Your boys are adorable, and I've heard that you know a ton about gardening. You guys will have to come play some time when you are visiting!
