Ok, back story. Knut always took power naps in college. It was the first year of our marriage when he was taking 20 some credit hours and working the graveyard shift for roughly 20 hours a week and playing college football and had allocated 5 hours to sleeping for each 24 hour period (weekdays). I believe they were divided up into 2 hours here, 2 hours there, and a few power naps inbetween. Yeah, good times. (He slept on the weekends…after the football game he sometimes played in.)
Anyway, as an expert in the power nap, he finds that they work better with his feet elevated in a chair. This last week we had rain, which means he’s home. He got a chance to work more on the never-ending-project that is soon at an end. I just needs the molding on the mantle done…and a few other finishing touches.
He’s been working hard, though, so he thought he’d sneak in a quick power nap. I had just sneaked in to take a picture of the fireplace in progress when I saw that someone had the overwhelming curiosity of what Daddy’s lips might look like squished together.
Which got this response from Daddy.
and maybe a little of this…
Then someone heard the fun going on and wanted to join in. He asked Daddy to do the “airplane song” and everyone wanted a turn (All except Silje. She was hard at work making lists. That’s my girl.)
Even Solveig got a turn in the “airplane.” For some reason, she didn’t get pants back on after her diaper change. She squealed into her fist and drooled all over Daddy,
which made the boys squeal with delight as well.
Then Daddy spent a bit of time trying to teach some of his kids about the beauty, power, and value
of a power nap.
