Stop me if you’ve heard this one before:
The day began with a puking child (it seems this is day 12 of this sickness for us).
We sorted and packed.
It’s beyond crazy that we’ve been dealing with puking every other day for almost two weeks. It doesn’t seem possible. We’re praying for healing and taking it a day at a time. Today Audrey was the one who started the day puking. She seemed to feel okay for the rest of the day though. She did have a nice long nap. Isaac, on the other hand, was coughing and sort of miserable for a lot of the day. It would be so nice if everyone would be restored to full health.
Nathan spent the day in the garage. He was sorting everything into piles of things to give away, throw away or keep. We have a ton of stuff that if going to the dump. I kept busy packing up the breakable stuff in the kitchen. It doesn’t seem like it should take that long to pack, but it keeps going and going. Tomorrow, at some point, we’re going to pull out all the things that still need to be packed.
Because the kids weren’t feeling great, we stayed home instead of going to church for the Christmas Eve service. I still made our traditional wild rice soup, the kids got to open one present (their new Christmas pj’s) and we watched A Muppet Christmas Carol. I loved snuggling with the kids in their cute jammies. We still all fit on the couch together. That wont last long as they get bigger.
The kids are snug in their beds. We need to get the stockings and presents ready for the morning. I’m very sleepy from all the work we did today! Merry Christmas Eve, everyone!
