2 Down, 4 Days To Go...Oh, and Happy Birthday Dear!

The two down are my youngest daughters Lily and Emma, our twins. They have the stomache bug. Though they are being saved the unpleasant experience of vomiting, they are spending more than their proper share of time in the bathroom- poor babies!

Babies-They are three now, and we still refer to them as "The Babies" and maybe we will for some time to come. I feel bad for them and the doctor says the stomache bug is going around and has been lasting for about seven days. The kids have been feeling like this for about three days now so there are still about four days to go until they feel better. Lots of water, and as much yogurt as they want the Dr. says. Dry diet, and of course lot's of snuggling or "nuggling" as the twins call it.

Of all the days for this illness to be hitting the house, today is my bride's birthday. She's at work, and I'm home with the kids. We're having pizza and wings (bonless of course) for dinner which will be a big hit with everyone! Cake and ice cream too of course! The kids will have fun, and maybe just maybe, after the kids are all tucked in, I'll get to relax and watch a movie with my bride when all is quiet.

I've got to go for now- The twins are climbing up on a stool to decorate the fireplace mantle with costume jewelry singing, "Decorate, decorate, decorate the Christmas tree" from Yo Gabba Gabba. They are feeling good in spirit, and that's good to see.
