It seems as if the babies follow a pattern: one night of blissful, all-night-long sleeping, followed by one or two nights of waking up at 3 or 4 and never going back to sleep. I was talking to someone working at Lowe's the other night when we were in there looking for sprinkler parts, and she said she raised four children. She said she wished so many times that they would hurry up and get grown, so she could get some sleep. And now she misses them being little. Sigh.

Hopefully the big twins will give mama a break today and play nicely together so I don't pinch their tiny heads off in a sleepy fit of rage.

This may be the day we break out the tub of Legos.
