The Long Afternoon

A mother's saving grace is nap time. It's the best when it breaks up the morning from the daddy-coming-home waiting period. But when the nap starts unexpectedly early and ends even earlier, you know one thing is for sure...

It's going to be a long waiting period! Especially when it is too cold to go outside.

And so it was today, but we still had fun. We colored and ate popcorn and threw egg shakers up and down the slide and painted Alyssa's fingernails and water painted and blew bubbles and eventually four hours passed, Daddy came home and dinner was eaten peacefully-the best miracle of the day.

But I'm hoping tomorrow will afford me a longer nap slightly later in the day.
