More throw up!

Pretty good day in all....we stayed home and did not even get dressed until 1 this afternoon. I slept in past 7 a.m. which is a miracle!!! Savannah came into our bed in the morning and we had a great chat. Did more laundry. Cleaned off the emails and shopped online a little more. Went thru Savannah's clothes and packed her for her trip. Shipped out another gift and got ready for William's party. He turned 8 and we went to his Pirate party. Kyle said he was not feeling well and he stayed home. We had a nice time at the party. Savannah did pretty well in musical chairs but as expected got knocked out the 3rd or 4th round. Big tears and being upset but I was ready for it and we sat and watched the rest of the game. William actually won the game and he was so happy!

We came home and asked Kyle how he was. He said he was feeling better and could I please make him some dinner. Sure, he wanted a grilled cheese sandwich....must be my specialty or something because that is what Savannah had for lunch! Made his dinner, switched laundy and packed more things my mom said she wanted for the trip and got it all ready for Clark to deliver to her house. Came to type this post and awful noise.....oh yah....another one with the throw ups!! Worse part is this one is much bigger and threw up all over the hallway, walls, cabinet and bathroom floor!!! He said he was sorry but man what an awful thing!! He is now in his room with the standard throw up bowl.......isn't it funny that every house has a throw up bowl. I remember being sick and my mom bringing it into our rooms for us. We cleaned up as much as we could and then decided that we needed to carpet cleaning machine.....too much mess for the towels etc. that we were using. We will see if he goes to school tomorrow or chills out at home.

So much for this post being about what goes on at Christmas time but I guess this is all part of the daily life and things that happen. Christmas Eve is in 10 days and I feel some what closer to being done but also know that I have many late nights ahead getting cleaning and cooking done. I know that it does not matter what I do as long as everyone is here and no one really notices the few cobwebs we miss or if they do see them the cob webs will not be remembered. Traditions will be......Christmas eve crafts, shrimp and french fries, marzipan fruits, snowballs with candles for dessert, putting the stockings out in Christmas jammies, Christmas morning to see what Santa brought, breakfast at Grandma and Papa's, kids excited and everyone having a good time. These are the things I look forward to and know that they will happen no matter what else is going on or what does not get done....I am now off to watch a little t.v. with my Princess to get some extra snuggle time before she goes! Give your family an extra hug today and think about what your favorite tradition is and how much you are looking forward to it!
