Snuggle muffins

Snuggling while slumbering just might be my favorite part of motherhood, at least during my current state of sleep deprivation. =) Erik is always snuggly, of course. In the shot below, Ellie was watching Sesame Street but after five minutes Elmo hadn't yet made an appearance, so the show was useless to her. She climbed up and joined us for an afternoon siesta. What is it that's so irresistable about sleeping kids? Not having to take care of them???
