Last Night

9:45 Naomi coughs and cries, I give her some honey for her cough.

10:00 Scott and I get in bed.

10:30 Naomi cries. Scott gets out of bed to talk to her.

10:45 Naomi cries. I get out of bed to give her some medicine.

11:10 Naomi comes down to our room. Scott talks to her.

11:20 I take her back upstairs.

11:30 We sleep.

2:00 Naomi cries and comes in our room again and I make a bed for her on the ground.

3:30 Danny wakes up. I feed him.

4:30 I hear Sophie and Syrena's alarm clock go off. I go upstairs. Syrena is reading a book and Sophie is getting out of bed to put her clothes on. I say what-are-you-doing-get- back-in-bed-it-is-the-middle-of-the-night!

6:00 Scott wakes up

6:45 I wake up, ready to conquer the day

All I can say is that no one threw up or wet the bed so in the end it was a pretty good night.

The Hundred Dollar Brick

I love libraries. When we first moved to Hillsborough I asked the realtor about the library. She paused and said it was "quaint." However, soon after we moved, Orange County started building a new library.

They invited anyone who donated $100 dollars to get a brick engraved with a message or a name on it. If I hadn't just recieved $100 from Scott's grandma I probably wouldn't have thought twice about it. I usually use "grandma money" for clothes or furniture, but I decided this time I would be a little more creative and get something that would last.

Now in addition to getting our books at the new library the girls run to find "their" brick.

So here is our $100 brick, and it is worth every penny.
