Guest Napper #138: Papasan Pretzel
When Kristi at The Robot Mommy sent me this picture, she didn’t realize what a service she’d done me. You see, I was shopping for new chairs for my boys for Christmas (after the inevitable, eventual demise of The Naps Happen Chair of great napping fame) and I had thought…maybe I should get them papasan chairs?
Well, it seems that papasan chairs might be a little too soporific for this already-nap-prone family.
“You see, you SMUSH yourself into the shape of the chair, like so…”
Also, I must confess that this chair does not, at present, appear to be very comfortable.
Hmmmm. Bean bag chairs. Those are for us.
Out with the old…
Guest Napper #137: Fractured Fairytale
“Light the oven, the witch said to Gretel…”
We’re going to have roast dolls and stuffed animals today.
“I’m not sure if the oven is hot enough!” Gretel replied. “Let’s take a nap for awhile and wait for it to warm up!”
Ben. Gretel. What’s the difference?
It looks like Ben may have been channeling one of the world’s most morbid fairy tales, lighting up that spiffy play oven and gathering his fat little stuffed toys near its gaping maw.
But, alas! It is not their time, and Ben is conquered by sleep. By the time he wakes up, he’ll have lost control of the gingerbread house.
You snooze you lose, buddy. Didn’t you watch Toy Story? Those dolls have a mind of their own.
Guest Napper #136: Eating and Exercising
Tis the season when adults must not miss workouts, lest the extra helpings of pie take over the waistline.
Why, just this morning, I was sweating it out. Workin’ the abs. Stretchin’ the hamstrings to work off the ham. Why did I not think of this brilliant idea, compliments of little Logan?
DO THE EXERCISES AT THE TABLE!
Nice! A quad stretch!
He looks really relaxed. Yoga and yogurt. Together at last.
Relaxation is the best part at the end of a workout. Or meal.
Now THAT is a timesaver, folks.
While visions of jumping jacks dance in his head…
If this is Logan’s stretching routine, I can’t wait to see Logan’s run. Dream on, little buddy!
Guest Napper #135: Properly Positioned Pinwheel
Some people have a talent for projecting an enigmatic image.
Who’s that guy?!
He must know that the ladies are irresistibly attracted by a man of mystery…and so he is. The man who sleeps well. The man behind the seated snooze. Perhaps he is in the pinwheel protection program.
Alas. We may never know his true identity. Only that he likes shiny things.
Over and out. Happy Friday, folks!
