Babies: Can't sleep with them, can't sleep without them

We had a big week here in the Mac household. On Wednesday and Thursday we hung out with my friend Allysia and her kids. We had a rollicking time at Jump up...Jumping up and generally going crazy with all of the other little ones. On Thursday Ramsey and Grayson joined all of us for a playdate at our house where we pretty much just caught up while we let Anayah chase around the babies :-) Thanks Anayah!

The only thing that this picture accomplishes is that all of the kids are in the same shot. Taking a decent picture of one kid is hard enough...four, with 3 under 2...impossible.

This was so cute. When Ramsey and Grayson had to leave, Jadon did not hold back on the hugs. He's a lover!

We had a great time hanging out with her and her family.

On Friday, Jonny decided that he wanted to see what all of the Jumping up was about so we went back to Jump up and Molly and Jonny had a great time pushing the limits of daring. Daddies are always good for a little danger and in a room full of mats and trampolines, the potential is endless.

Saturday brings me to the title. We had our 1st night away from Molly. Mere has offered to take Molly overnight many times, but it never really worked out before (generally my fault). Anyhow I decided "what the hell" and Molly spent the night with Mere last night. Since we had all of this free time on our hands we went out to dinner and a movie with Ramsey and Blaine. We went to Ah-So and had some good food...probably too much of it, and then we went to see Inception which I enjoyed even though it hadn't really been something I thought I wanted to see. When I got home I did have to fight the urge to go busting into Mere's house to check on Molly, but I didn't do it. Despite the title of the blog I did sleep okay, but I did have a little trouble falling asleep thinking about what Molly was doing..."Is she up?, Is she crying?, Is that my problem? Seriously...Is it?" Although I was worried about Molly, I was also worried about Mere and what Molly was doing to her. I know everyone think she looks like an angel, but she can be mean. In the end though, Mere said she did pretty good. Like her mother, she did have trouble falling asleep, but once she fell asleep she did fairly well, so yeah for that! Next time will be easier.

I'll end with one more picture. Molly's hair is getting out of hand, but she won't let me do much to help her out. I tried a goofy little ponytail, but she had none of that. I might have to cave and just cut her bangs. We'll try to stay away from the "dumb and dumber" look that Landon and Grayson have sported from time to time (their words, not mine). I don't think a little girl can pull that look off as well.
