sleeping beauties...

After picking the lock on Lauren's door-which seems to have become part of the nightly ritual- I usually find them both tucked into one bed sleeping like angels. Maybe they think we'll kick Chloe out of the bed so they lock us out, I don't know. Some nights after a challenging day this sight really cheers me up. Today they were trying to play Littlest Pet Shop together and having big issues about who was 'the boss.' It seems someone needs to be in charge of all those important decisions when playing and Lauren usually loves that role. Chloe, poor Chloe, she wasn't happy about being "bossed" around and then was crying and whining when she wasn't playing with Lauren. No happy medium today. But, for all the little spats they have they truly are the best of friends and they know each other so well, sometimes a little too well. Knowing exactly what sets your sibling off is useful and dangerous knowledge. They use it pretty well to their advantage sometimes. I love how they love each other though- never holding back, always genuine.
On a much yuckier note, Chloe passed on the pukes to Lauren who graciously shared with Cody last night. Noah and I are praying we'll be left out. No fun, but I think the worst has passed. Such a busy month, L & C turn seven on Sunday so time to start baking cakes and wrapping gifts. I see a month of very few posts ahead!
