This evening was our first HOOT OWLs dinner, which is for moms whose hubbies travel a lot. It was at a local park, and we had pizza delivered. I'm not sure Jonathan actually stopped running around between 4:30-6:30. Plus, he befriended a couple of little kids. He'd stand at the top of the ladder or the bottom of the slide and encourage them up/down. He even walked a boy, holding his hand, over to the big kid's playground, probably to his mother's dismay.

The very nice thing about tonight was that even with a bath and 4 stories, Jonathan and Elise were in bed before 7:30!! unheard of!

I had a terrible time sleeping, though; it may have been the glass of wine. I was wide awake between 1-3:30am. I even read for awhile. Nothing is more frustrating than watching those minutes click by. The kids slept well; Elise was up twice, and Jonathan got up around 8:45 but snuggled with me until 9, when E woke up for the day.
