Last night was definately a rough one, Gavin ended up throwing up a couple times (after 1 am of course) which of course made both him AND Zander cry which in turn woke up the baby. Luckily Ken was home so while he cleaned up the cribs I rocked Emanuel who went back to sleep easily. Though when Gavin threw up a little again he woke up the baby again… still an easy rock back to sleep.
This morning Gavin woke up with a bit of a fever and rather tired with no appetite. Zander seems to be ok for now but Emanuel… well runny nose and cranky to boot. All day he just could not seem to sleep for very long. This evening we had some problems getting him relaxed enough to sleep, we finally had to give him a bath. Poor little man he so hates having his nose cleaned out and WOW did he ever need it. It is like fighting a little tornado. I did put the twins to bed with their water, of course the one that should be drinking it (Gavin) is not and Zander is going nuts. Tomorrow when I do not let them take the cups to bed is going to be a little rough though they are smart enough to understand that they cannot always have everything they want. They just really do not want to give in.
We got out Christmas package from the UK today… boy do I feel bad, I have not sent out Cheryl and Sime’s in return. Ken wants to wait until we get a few more bills paid before we send off the last 3 packages – the one to the UK and 2 to Minnesota. Oh well late or not they will get there. Tomorrow the tv is supposed to get here and Dad’s package from South Carolina is to get here on Friday. Apparently there is something in plastic wrap that I am to open right away… hmmm I am curious but really have NO idea!
We have to get our Christmas fixings tomorrow as well as groceries for the next few nights. Ken only gets Christmas Day off and is taking Boxing Day since we are going to my mom’s. We are planning on staying home for New Years so feel free to come see us. It is easier on the boys if we stay home and well… cheaper!
Hmmm today was rather quiet except for the post and the sick kids. We did miss the twins’ speech yesterday – with all 3 kids sick it slipped my mind. Ken needs to call them and see when our next session will be. Whenever the kids get sick it seems like everything goes by the wayside. I am really hoping we are all well for Christmas.
Ken needs to pick up our photos from the church tomorrow. He forgot about it today. I can’t wait to see the finished photos!
