I love naps! It is one of the perks of being a SAHM if you can get both of the kids down at the same time. I often will nap with the boys, one on each arm in our bed each afternoon, I love it! Chris is always jealous of our afternoon naps, I know he, is but I must say I can't help it. It all started with Carver when he was just a baby, I would lay down with him to get him to nap (I know, I know I should have been putting him in his bed and making him sleep on his own but I just couldn't, he has always been too cute and cuddly and sleeps so well at night so I couldn't complain). I started getting him to nap on his own when he was probably 16 months or so but when I got pregnant with Kayden I was so tired all of the time that I just couldn't help cuddling up with Carver again for naps. After Kayden was born I just got really lucky and have (most of the time) been able to get them both to nap at the same time. I cuddle up with one sweet boy on each arm and away to dream land we go. I think we all love it!
The only thing better than our daily afternoon naps are our family Sunday afternoon naps. We don't always get so lucky on the weekend but when we do it is so nice. Today, after returning from church and feeding the boys lunch, we decided to take advantage of some time to just lay low so Chris had Carver on one couch and I had Kayden on the other and we turned on a movie to just relax and chill out. I don't remember falling asleep but I do remember waking up about 3 hours later to realize how cute all of my boys looked sleeping soundly. Kayden on me, and Carver on Chris. Even Riley and Capper got in on the impromptu nap time. It was one of those moments when I wished someone could have taken a picture of us because it was such a peaceful, beautiful afternoon as we all rested and spent some quiet time as a family.
Another one of those moments that Chris and I know we won't have a lot of before the boys are grown and too big to cuddle with us on the couch for a lazy afternoon. We'll enjoy it while we can! :)

Hi from Hong Kong! I had forgotten what it was like to have nap-time with little ones until Lucy crawled up on me yesterday and slept for an hour and a half. Loved every last second of it! Now I want one of my own even more! How are you guys? Thanks for the playdate email... wish I could make it:) Loves, Katy
