I have mentioned my sleeptalking habits before here for your enjoyment. Well, the other night I had another "episode" - two, actually. The first was shortly after I fell asleep - before Erin fell asleep. I had my arm under her pillow and all of the sudden I started contracting my arm and putting it back down again. When Erin asked me what I was doing I immediately responded, "I'm lifting weights!" I guess I was doing bicep curls in my sleep!
Well, we had a good laugh at that and then fell back asleep. Then, early in the morning I started moaning - loud enough to wake Erin up. She asked me once again what I was doing (this seems to be an entertaining question for her in situations such as this!) and this time I responded, "I'm putting a live nativity scene together and I can't get the buffalo in place so that I can put baby Jesus down!"
Yeah, I know... we've been laughing for the last couple of days!

At least you were trying to keep the baby Jesus safe. ;-) I'm glad I read this before going to work, it will give me something to giggle about for the rest of the day.

LOL! Those are great ones!!! Erin, you ARE keeping track of all of these "sleep sayings", right? Maybe someday we can combine our lists of funny things our husbands say in their sleep and write a book! :-)

That has got to be one of the funniest things ever! I used to be known for some pretty intense sleep walking adventures. I actually fell through a glass table once, broke it, and never woke up! No scratches or bruises. Nothing! I've been known for moaning or mumbling in my sleep too. Nothing ever comes out of it though.
