It's super late, but I've been dealing with a sick munchkin today and just haven't really had a lot of time to sit down and type something up. Hopefully my little guy can get some rest and feel better in the morning. And I'm praying that none of the other kids get whatever he has because it's never any fun to sick, but is really no fun to be sick on Christmas.
I got a lot accomplished today, but still have loads more to get done; Being a mom is a never-ending job. I have to make a trip onto the base tomorrow to pick up Alex's allergy medications. Then I really do need to get those sugar cookies made so the kids can decorate them. Danny will be working Christmas Eve and Christmas Day so we'll have to figure something out as far as a Christmas dinner is concerned. The kids and I went and bought him a couple of gifts the other day while he was at work. Haley and Cory helped me wrap them. It was such a great experience to teach my two oldest kiddos how to wrap presents. Of course, Haley says she only likes wrapping the ones in boxes. She's definitely my child! Cory mostly enjoyed eating the chocolate covered pretzels that somehow made their way to the table.
Alex and Emily are enjoying their time together. Emily is going to miss him so much when he has to go back to school. They really are best-friends. She just mopes around the house most days while he's in school, but when he gets home, she'll drop everything and run to him. Then she's hugging him and asking him to come and play with her. He's a good big brother and will typically entertain her wishes for a little while, then he wants to play his video games or have a snack. But Emily just follows that boy all over the house, like his shadow.
I'm not sure who learned it or where it was picked up from, but one of my favorite things that they do now is when they're giving each other a kiss on the cheek, one of them says to the other "now we're married". It's adorable. Of course, I've tried to convince them both that they can't marry each other because they are brother and sister, but Emily does it with everyone when they kiss her now. She'll just look right into your eyes and say "now we're married". I try so hard not to laugh and smile at her, but she is just too stinking cute!
I always know when one of my kids isn't feeling well though, all they want to do is snuggle. And that's all Alex has been doing today really, just snuggling. I don't mind it at all. He's a great little snuggle bug. I love to tickle him, too. He's super ticklish and his laugh is just too cute. So even though he isn't feeling well, I've been making him smile and laugh with a little bit of tickling during cuddle time.
My kids are honestly what keep me going each and every day. If I didn't have their sweet smiles, adorable laughs and outrageous comments to brighten my day, I don't know what I would do?
I really hope my little guy feels better in the morning though.
Off to bed, I need some sleep before these kids wake up.
