my vacation time...

Every year around Christmas when the girls are out for winter break, I close the daycare for a week (or so depending on how the holidays fall) so we can spend time as a family with our kids.

However... the week always turns into doing some type of house project or something we have put off doing and this year is no different.

Christmas Day I cleaned up the house, put all the kids' stuff away, and we even took decorations down so I could do this...
This is everything from my daycare closet/Mia's closet in my room. What a mess! We are doing our famous room switch to make room for Baby Kendal. Mia and Kendal are now going to share what used to be our bedroom and Dustin and I are moving back to the small room in which we started in when we first moved into our house 4 years ago.

This is all of my art supplies, motor boxes, and gadgets I use for daycare...
After a couple of hours of moving and switching... here is the new daycare/baby/toddler room closet. Not all finished but getting there.
Vacation time has not been all about switching rooms... I got a portable crib for Kendal (she'll be in our room until she and Mia can sleep all through the night or at least enough to not wake each other up), bought a couple new born outfits for her, and took care of a sick, sick Gaby!!! If everyone is up and feeling well, on Wednesday we are looking forward to eating lunch at our favorite family restaurant, Hu Hot then seeing the new Alvin and the chipmunk movie. Praying everyone is well soon.

Tonight, out of the blue, Gaby started throwing up and having diarrhea... poor girl. She normally does not get sick with the stomach junk very easily but she got it hard tonight! Since her room is downstairs and we are up, Dustin brought her mattress up stairs, lined it with trash bags, and a barf bowl near by so if she gets sick (crossing my fingers she doesn't), we are close.
3 hours of throwing up, heating pad, and 4 hot baths later... I think she may be out for a while. She is just lifeless!!!


And that is how I am spending my vacation...

I so don't envy you the room/stuff switching! Poor Gaby! I'll be praying everything goes smoothly and Miss Gaby feels better soon!
