Christmas Break

I was so excited to wake up this morning and know that we didn't have to go anywhere today, there is no school, no activities, nothing. Just a day at home ~ well as good as can be when you have sick kids. Charlie has been fighting a cold and the cold has won! He is curled up in the recliner watching Smurfs. It is 9:00 and Annie is still asleep. She wasn't feeling well last night either and came into our bed in the middle of the night saying her throat hurt. Hopefully it isn't to bad.

Today we are just going to clean up the house and hang out at home. I was telling a friend recently about how when Charlie was a baby and it was just him and I at home I remember feeling so bored and lonely. I could just sit and hold him and read or watch tv all day. Those days are long gone. We seem to be always running in or out to the next thing. There is always tons of chores waiting for me, a meal to cook or lunch to pack. Audrey will now grab my hand and pull me to the couch and say couch sit so I will sit and hold her. Even now she is curled up in my lap. I am hoping we can really enjoy a quiet two weeks.
