in the night

so here's what i hear coming through the monitor last night . . .
mck: crying . . . then "mommy! i need you to hold me" pause. "mommmmm."
i hear rustling and gathering . . . then shuffling.
mck: "kam, hey kam! do you want to go see mommy with me?"
kam: totally waking out of a deep sleep "huh?"
mck: "i am going to mommy's bed! you want to come with me?"
kam: you can tell she shoots up in bed "yes!"
mck: "get your stuff. see, i am bringing my stuff!"
kam: "kay"

at this point, having no clue what time it is (1:30 a.m. . . . keep in mind EVERYONE was up before 7 yesterday and kam only had an hour long nap!) i jump out of bed and run upstairs, hoping to catch them before it takes too long to get them to go back to sleep!

i arrive outside their bedroom to see cuties with totally crazy hair standing in their doorway with armfuls of blankets and animals. . .

it was hard to be too upset. i got mck back to sleep. kam was up for another 3 hours . . . having a party in her bed! she talked to her animals and sang "happy birthday mommy".
both of them slept until 9! :) mck and i had a talk about not waking up our sisters in the night unless something is wrong!
