Merry Christmas!

Another quickie post, but I just had to get this down.

The gifts were all opened.
The paper was everywhere.
And Gabe turned to me and said:

“Mommy?”

“Yes, sweetie?”

“You know what?”

“What?”

“This is a beautiful, wonderful Christmas.”

In the last 45 minutes…

1. Emily threw up all over her sheets, and proceeded to rub it all over me.
2. I stripped the crib, her, and part of me.
3. Shoved Zuzu away from licking it up.
4. Threw both sniffling, stuffy, runny nosed, coughing kids in the tub w/ some vapor bath.
5. Started a load of laundry.
6. Bathed both kids.
7. Dried Emily and dressed her.
8. Cleaned blood out of her ears (don’t panic - it was just a drop).
9. Had her throw up on me again.
10. Stripped her and me again.
11. Shoved Zuzu away from licking it up again.
12. Put a new shirt on me.
13. Bathed Emily again.
14. Dried and dressed her again.
15. Listened to her with the stethoscope hoping that the wheezing was not music to my ears.
16. Went back upstairs.
17. Tripped on the dog.
18. Got Gabe out of the bath and dried him.
19. Realized that I didn’t rinse his hair.
20. Put Gabe BACK in the bath and rinsed his hair.
21. Dried him again.
22. Dressed him.
23. Went back to my bathroom.
24. Combed his hair and cleaned his ears.
25. Shoved Zuzu away from the puke AGAIN.
26. Cleaned up the 2nd round of puke.
27. Sighed a heavy relief when Chris walked in the door.
28. Cooked soup for Gabe.
29. Started a 2nd load of laundry.
30. Escaped to the office.

Yeah…that layout that I did a few days ago claiming that I love it when my kids are sick? I take it back. Of course, I did end it w/ the statement that they weren’t allowed to be sick at the same time. This is why. And did I mention that Chris and I are sick, too? Yeah, I love Winter. Ugh.

A Picture of ‘Love’

Last night, Gabe and I were lying in his bed, listening to his bedtime music. We do this every night, for one song, just he and I, right before he goes to sleep. As we were lying there in the dark, I hear this:

Gabe: Mommy, what does L make? (that is the letter of the week at school this week)

Mommy: L makes the luh luh sound.

Gabe: Like ‘Love’?

Mommy: Yes! ‘Love’ starts with the letter ‘L’. Good job, buddy!

Gabe: Mommy, for show and tell on Thursday, I want to take a picture of Love.

Mommy: Ok. What do you want to take a picture of for Love?

Gabe: You and me. That’s Love.

It sure is little man. I’ve never ever heard anything as LOVEly as that. :D
So, here it is, in all it’s glory…Gabe’s picture of LOVE:
