The Ky-guy - full of surprises

Every night, before bed, we check in on the kids to make sure they're tucked in, comfortable and safe. Sometimes they're too sweaty from blankets pulled up over their heads or too cold from kicking them off or just uncomfortable looking, but they've always been there. One night, I felt panic when Jason asked, "where's Kyle?" and I stepped around him to see an empty bed and empty floor beside the bed. I was busy scanning the room and closet for him when I heard Jason laugh and say, "here he is" and when I turned around, I saw him sound asleep, under his bed. He had pulled his blankets and teddy bear down with him, curled up under his bed and fallen asleep.

Now that Samantha is in school, her social calendar is starting to get busier. One weeknight, she and I had a birthday party to go to. So, Jason decided to do a boys' night out with Kyle. They headed over to Chuck E. Cheese for a little food and fun. When Samantha and I walked in the door, we heard a very excited Kyle come running in calling, "Hi mom! Hi Sam!" and this is what he looked like... The picture doesn't do it justice, but none of us could stop laughing for a while. He's our little clown.
