This is Our Life - week 17 {Terre Haute lifestyle photographer}

This is week 17 for the This is Our Life project and the theme is "to sleep or not to sleep."
One of the things that most impacts how my day is going to go is whether or not the little boys nap and for how long. They're a bit unpredictable, but the average nap lasts around two hours, maybe a little more. This gives me time to work, or clean, or read, or shower, or sometimes even nap myself, and I need that little bit of break in the middle of the day.

Then there are the days that Jonah spends nap time talking to himself in his crib and occasionally calling "Momma!!!! Mommaaaa!!!" There are the days that Jack lays on the couch (because them napping in the same room rarely works out well) and tosses and turns and makes noises just to stay awake. There are days when Jack tries to be sneaky and hides a toy or flashlight under his blanket. There are the days when they both sleep but only for half an hour then wake up grumpy and won't go back to sleep. There are the days that we need to run errands in the morning and they fall asleep in the van and ruin nap time. And then there are also a few rare days when they take 3 or 4 hour naps. Those days are nice.

This day happened to be a normal two-hour nap on the couch for Jack and a four-and-a-half hour nap for Jonah.
