Esme And Chan Share A Room

Hmmm...I think we left off with Chan's crappy sleeping schedule after spring break.  Well we ended up putting Esme in his room to see if he'd sleep better at night and it worked!  We'd been thinking about it for awhile so we figured we might as well try it out.  Then he got sick with a cough and cold so he's waking up early again. We can never win with this kid!  Ha ha!  But Esme's learning to sleep through so much noise when he's crying however we're not sure if Chan's learned anything from this.  Oh well.  Now we converted Esme's old room to a play room since we missed our separate family room and living room in our old house.  It's so nice to be able to contain the toys again!

I think I forgot to post on Easter too.  The kids woke up with eggs all over the house so they got to hunt right away.  Esme was excited to find the eggs and Chan was content just chasing after her.  The eggs were filled with toys and stuff so we didn't need to worry about an early morning sugar rush and the kids still had fun.  Then we had a nice family brunch at Aunty B's ranch house and a much bigger hunt with all the cousins.  We contained them to 2 rows in the orchard and then sectioned off an area for Chan and Mahina.  They were much more slow going as they wanted to open and eat (if possible) as they went.

Happy Easter everyone!!!
