Thanksgiving

We really had a great Thanksgiving.. but the only thing Lacey had to say about Thanksgiving was that she was thankful for Christmas, her cousins, and that Christmas was coming.. nice :) We actually had quite an eventful weekend (and all the fault basically lands at my feet...). Here's why: I decided that this was the weekend to move Callan into Lacey's room and move Lacey into a big-girl bed (I know, she's three and she's still in a crib?! It works - I love having her penned in :)). Anyway, coupled with the fact that it was Thanksgiving made for a busy weekend. (However, my thinking was that Jay would be home more during the long weekend and thus we could do it then and have a couple of nights before he went back to work - genius!) Well, we didn't end up doing it on Wednesday or Thursday night as I had anticipated.. It was too late on Wednesday after J got home, and Thursday night we just focused on putting up the Christmas tree. So Friday was the big day. Jay worked half day, and when he got home - we got to work. We moved everything out of Lacey's room and I scrubbed and scoured so it was perfectly clean. :) Then we moved both beds in and the dresser from Cal's room upstairs (it's bigger).
So Friday night was the big night.. It really only took them about an hour and a half to fall asleep.. but then.. oh my - Lacey woke up crying @ 2am - well, wait... before they fell asleep, I decided to lay down w/ them to help calm them down (which really, was a bad idea.. - we've never slept w/ our kids and thus it just makes them all wound up..) anyway, I climbed into Lace's toddler bed AND IT BROKE!!! what a fatty I felt like :) Jay happened to be at the gym, so I pulled the mattress off, tried to console Lacey who was, of course, upset that her new bed - broke. :) OOO good times :) So anyway, I left and they fell asleep.. And then 2am comes. I go down and lay w/ her (she had woken up Cal, so he was awake, too) I laid w/ them for awhile, but noticed they were restless.. So after about 45min, I went back up to bed.. They were quiet for awhile, but then they started playing and laughing! ;) Jay went down and they had the lights on, and Lacey was dancing around the room and Callan was dying laughing.. THEY WERE HAVING A PARTY @ about 3am! nice.. So, J had a "chat" w/ them and came to bed.. They thankfully slept the rest of the night :) Suffice it to say, things have been looking up since then - it gets better every night :)
We spent Thanksgiving @ my grandma's.. she hosts about every holiday for my family; and we spent Saturday with Jay's family. It was a really nice weekend - especially when the kids started sleeping.
