Do you see what I see?

Christmas decorating today with the windows opens has been absolutely wonderful!  It is great having all the totes lined up outside where we can see what we have to put out.  its starting to look like Christmas but sure doesn't feel like it!

Sick Girl

We have had our share of sickness lately.  First Olivia had the stomach bug for about 2 1/2 days.  Seemed like you couldn't even stand ginger ale or Gatorade.  By the end of day 3 she looked like she had lost 10lbs and for those who know her....she doesn't have even 1lb to lose.  Then Hannah woke up with the croup and that has turned into a sinus infection and ear ache.  Each night it seems like she begs to go to bed because she is soooo tired but the minute she falls asleep she is coughing so bad we have to get her up. 

It is this beautiful dance really.  I get you in a steamy bath and you sleep up against the side until the water turns off.  You immediately start crying to get out.  I put you into my bed and get you on a breathing treatment and you watch cartoons until its done.  We snuggle in and close our eyes but still somehow you can't seem to stop coughing.  I give you a cough drop and downstairs we go.  Its much cooler downstairs so I get you all tucked in the little couch and I take the big one.  We watch TV until you basically pass out. 

Its very painful for a mommy to watch her girls be so sick. You really don't even think about how tired you are until 3 weeks have gone by without a good nights sleep.  All you can really think of is what you can do to make it all better.  I am praying for a good nights sleep tonight!

Sleep-Over!

Its a nice night for an sleepover!   You girls love to invite people to sleep over....the funny thing is that Olivia hates to have anyone sleep in her bed.  Strange but that's how she has always been.  She doesn't want to sleep at anyones house and she likes people to sleep over but only if they sleep with Hannah or on the air mattress.  She likes her own bed and by herself!  Good thing she is ok with going on vacation.

So tonight we have August sleeping over.  You guys invited her little brother too.  I think he would have stayed very innocently but we don't need to be starting anything on that note!  We went to dinner with her family and she is going to come to church and lunch with us tomorrow.  She is kind and nuturing making her a great role-model for both of you. 
Everyone has had a shower and we are enjoying a little relaxation!  Good night GIRLS....sleep tight!
