twilight

This post has nothing to do with handsome vampires. So sorry. But it is supernatural.

It was about 7:00 when I decided to sit on the sofa and check email and such for a few minutes between dinner and getting the girls ready for bed. Not long afterward, Lauren came and laid her sweet head on my lap. And now, just a few minutes later, she is sound asleep. Snoring, in fact. This is not unusual for Lauren who, on almost a daily basis, demonstrates her impressive ability to fall asleep nearly anywhere at any time. The thought just now occurs to me that she may have narcolepsy. Or maybe she just takes after her father. But I digress.

What is truly amazing about what has just happened is that when I looked down to see Lauren asleep, I noticed Audrey. As I type this, she's lying on the living room floor with her head on a pillow. She's clutching her furry blanket, and her binky is bobbing. She's sound asleep.

I'm not sure what's going on here. But I like it.

Ella is out on the front steps enjoying the last rays of this balmy day and (what else) reading. I think it's time to tell her she's out of daylight.
