Rain, of course

Its probably been 340 days since it rained last.  We had one day this month of cool weather.  The next day the Santa Ana winds came and its been hot ever since.  Finally it decided to cool down and rain -- on Halloween day.  Micah's costume is a cardboard box decorated in wrapping paper so we quickly wrapped it in plastic wrap.  Because of the rain we had to drive everybody to school.

I found out it is possible to pick Bradlee up from Seminary, drive her to high school, then come home and get Avarie, pick up Donavon and drive them to middle school, and then get home before Micah had to leave for school.  Luckily, Kevin was home to do it, or I would have had one pissed off baby before I was done because I don't think that schedule left any time for feeding baby.

I've been putting Carsten to bed kind of late.. 9-10 at night.  I decided Wed night to put him to bed earlier so I made sure he didn't sleep too much in the afternoon and put him to bed at 7:30.  All went great.  He woke up the next morning at 6:30 (ok, he was also up from 2-3 but that's normal.  So a good 11 hours of sleep.  Last night I tried the same thing.  I fed him at 7:00, he sonked out completely in my lap.  Laid him down at 7:30.  Eyes popped wide open.  He almost decided to go to sleep but then decided to get mad instead.  The short story is that he didn't get to sleep in his bed until 10:30.  I'm thinking that's why I was putting him to bed so late before.

He's only 3 months but I'm about ready to let him "cry it out".  I'll try to hold off a bit longer tho.  But shouldn't he be getting around 10-11 hours sleep at night???

Happy Halloween
