Spying

Yesterday morning I was awakened at 5:45 by Reagan -she happened to be sleeping next to me.  She was awake for the day.  Reagan inherited her Dad's early morning genes and every now and then will wake up extra early.  I was delirious and didn't give it another thought.

10 minutes later I was awake.  My three oldest were in Will and Ainsley's room arguing very loudly.  It quickly woke me up and also Paige in the room next door.  I was not a happy mamma.  What in the world was going on?  Why were my kids awake before 6 am (two days after daylight savings), and why were they fighting?

Reagan has had a spying itch as of recently.  She had convinced her brother and sister that she would wake up early and wake them up and then they would spy.  She was completely dressed in black and the others had outfits to wear also.  They encountered problems when they couldn't agree on how they would spy.  (Not to mention what are they spying on?) She also didn't count on her brother and sister losing their enthusiasm during the night and wanting to sleep instead of spy.

Today this is all funny to me.  Yesterday, not so much.  I am still up with Paige in the nights and have been fighting sickness so this awesome early start to my day was not what the doctor ordered.  I have to hand it to Reagan.  She is intensely creative.  She goes full steam and doesn't give up.  Today she is home sick and is watching Spy Kids.  I guess the spying craze hasn't worn off yet.

Will ended up crashing after lunch and slept for four hours.  I tried waking him several times after 2 hours.  He has been fighting a cold and the early morning just did him in.  He woke up happy and ready to go for hours.  Awesome.

I was laughing when he came in to me and had changed his clothing.  I asked why he changed and he explained to me that sleeping for a long time makes your clothes get wet.  I asked if he had an accident.  He said nope.  He had checked the couch and there were no wet spots so he was just sweaty.  I explained that the leather couch wouldn't have a wet spot and he should go smell his clothes.  He came running back to me.  "Mom, you were right.  They smelled like horrible just like pee.  I guess I did have an accident!"  Silly kid.
