Zonked out

I was looking through my August folder of pictures on the computer and I started to notice a trend. I thought it was kind of funny...

Here is Natalie. She is actually asleep for the night--in our bed because we can't put her to sleep in her room because Kelton is in there and they just play. (I'm sure that NO ONE reading this post has ANY idea of what I'm talking about.) Anyway, I thought each arm wrapped around a doll was too cute not to take a picture.
Then we have Kelton. That's him under the towel. Poor kid. Didn't get a bath until lunchtime, then no one dressed him (I'm sure at his insistence--is that even a word?), then he just couldn't make it through lunch.
Now Damon. He really only falls asleep in his crib, or sometimes in your arms if you are trying really hard to get him to sleep. The other night we were trying to make him last until bedtime, and he just didn't make it. All of a sudden, he was just gone. It was funny because he just never does this.
This picture was not my idea. I think I look strange. But yesterday Kelton was refusing to take a nap--which is also a rarity. Usually we have no problems with naptime. (Bedtime is another story...) Natalie was at school and Damon was sleeping. Nate and I were very tired so we both layed down on the couch to take a nap. When Kelton saw this, he got very upset. I guess he figured it was kind of pointless to be the only one awake. So he crawled up with me and went right to sleep.
Now there are no sleeping pictures of Nate, but I can guarantee you, they would be plentiful if I wanted them to be. Also, don't have any picture of this one, but Natalie has fallen asleep on the bus ride home twice (that I know of) this past week. So, do you think maybe none of us are getting enough sleep at night? I sure think so.
