Exhaustion

Maybe I'll get the energy to post pictures on the blog sometime over the next year. Not today, though. Liam was up running around his room (which is right over our heads) at 3:30am.  I went to get him back in bed and he was piling things under his pillow: a walkie talkie, pair of toy guns, a plastic dagger and miscellaneous "guys". I was not happy. I got him settled, got back into my own bed and then heard him run downstairs 10 minutes later  to go the bathroom. Fine. Now go to sleep. 15 minutes later, more running around. Dad goes upstairs. Dad returns to bed. Max wakes up. I go in to settle him. I get back into bed. Max starts screaming. Liam starts running again. I lie down with Max on the floor in a makeshift bed. He tries to get up a nd play. We do not fall asleep. We try sleeping in bed with Daddy...nothing works. We are all up for the day before 4:00.

Blah.
