I can't promise that this post will make any sense at all since I've had minimal sleep the last two nights. Cooper is fighting a cold and cough. 
We spent the last two nights camped out in the living room, trying not to keep the rest of the house up. Let me just tell you how long a night can seem when you're in a recliner and measuring the time in 20 minute increments. That was our night last night from 10pm until about 6am when Cooper finally slept for about 2 hours. But enough whining.
We did manage to make it through the day successfully even though Cooper only took a 1/2 hour nap. My mom graciously watched the kids so that I could go do a little shopping for the new house. It was the best 2 hours ever! We spent the rest of the day at home where I actually was able to make some lasagna and a casserole for this week. And some really yummy pumpkin bars. Earl made it home around 7:30 and
was greeted by Cooper with Baby Einstein cards in hand. He must have made Earl go through those cards 6 times before he finally gave up and moved on to something else. His favorite tonight is the fish. He makes his little mouth move like a little fish...so cute! McKenna and I watched a little TV and then it was off to bed. McKenna was out in minutes. Cooper on the other hand only slept long enough for me to iron 2 pairs of pants. And now he's sleeping soundly in my arms...for the next 14 minutes. Someone get some sleep for me tonight!

Feel better Cooper! So sorry to hear about the lack of sleep. You're not kidding about LOOOOOOOONG nights in the recliner- we've had a few of those at our house too. Hopefully Cooper is on the mend and back to peaceful dreams soon.
