Breakfast Al Fresco (Ryan Is 7 Months Old)

Last night I got three hours of sleep (and it wasnt consecutive). I can blame three people for this: my future sister-in-law and double trouble (of course). I got in late last night and knew I was going to be short on sleep, and I accepted that fact because it was for a good cause. BUT, Ryan and Brooke BOTH got me up in the middle of the night, and both woke up early. Which, of course, I should have expected to happen :(

I'm pretty tired. I'm having a hard time functioning, in fact. I was worried I'd fall asleep while taking care of the kids today (Daddy isnt home this morning) and needed something to keep me awake and keep the kids happy. So, we walked to Starbucks and picked up some goodies and then ate breakfast on the front porch. It worked. The kids were happy and it helped me wake up a bit. Yay!
