Linked 52: Tired

Well...if "tired" isn't an appropriate theme for this week then I don't know what is.
Max slept HORRIBLE last night.  I was up pretty much every 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours last night...ugh.

Max is such a little trickster.  I haven't quite got him figured out yet.  One night he sleeps all night and then he pulls an all nighter...hmm.....

I am definitely feeling the exhaustion this morning.

Oh well...I'll just keep on keepin' on.

So, did anyone else struggle with this theme this week?

I am definitely lacking in creativity these days and almost didn't post because I really was drawing a blank.

But, last night Owen broke out one of his new Christmas presents and it worked out quite well for this week's theme.

This toy is a great way to use up some energy during the winter....


Owen could bounce on it forever....

I get tired just watching him.....

I wish there was a way I could bottle up his energy and use it for myself!!

I felt like this week's theme was hard. It was like either take the obvious sleeping kid pic or ... what? Way to find a way! :D

these are awesome photos. love how you interpreted this theme.

my second was a terrible sleeper for the first 15 months of his life. i nursed him every 2 hours for the first 6 months and then he finally went a little bit longer but never slept through the night until he was 15 months. it's SO hard and exhausting. praying for strength today for you today.

I agree - the theme was tough unless you took it literally. I actually was going by the wrong list and posted about Winter first, so now I have 2 posts today!

And please add me to your list :)

Andrea said...

Great interpretation of the theme! I, too, get tired just watching Max run around some days. I don't know where he gets the energy.
This week was hard! (I didn't post...though I may post tonight...) I think next week might be hard as well.
Looks like Owen was having fun! :)

Tracey said...

Why is it that we are exhausted our kids are bouncing off the walls????? Love these shots.

Marvett Smith said...

stacey said...

Oh I just love that first one! And just looking at him bouncing makes me tired!

I hope the sleep comes soon for you. xo

Unknown said...

Such energy, yes a bottle of that would be great some days.
I hope you get some restorative sleep tonight.

Heather said...

What a good take on the theme. Love the crop and stop of motion midair on the top photo.

I love the angles in these! What is your name through instagram so I can follow you? I thought you had it somewhere on your blog and I couldn't find it.

Thanks!

Where the heck does all their energy come from?

Super fun take on tired, love the creativity :)

Jessica said...

It's so tough to be a parent sometimes. Today I had the post-sick-but-not-yet-better-tired-cranky-monster child... and I am exhausted. But at least there are better days mixed in with the tough ones!!

Simply Sara said...

i totally agree. this week was incredibly hard.
i love your interpretation!

where on earth do they get their energy..and how can we bottle it up?!

i hope you get some sleep soon...i feel your pain. 2 of my 4 liked to keep me up at night when they were babes. sigh. that season was tough.

but take heart friend, it is a season- i promise ;)
