Well today so far has gone better then I thought.
Night started out rough with the girls waking up for a bottle around 10pm and then Jake coughing for an hour before I gave him some natural cough sirop. So again I went to bed later then normal and I am also starting to feel the effects of a small cold.
Jake was super grumpy this morning then super happy then super grumpy. Combo of being a two year old and not having had as great a night as normal.
We had company today which is always fun. Chris' grandmother is in town for Christmas and his Dad has two weeks off so they came by for lunch and big part of the afternoon. Made the day fly by. The girls were super good which is always fun.
Not everyone is gone and I am starting to feel run down so I am anxious for Chris to get home so we can get the evening routine done and I think I am going to have a cup of neo citran and then bed for me. I really don't want to feel worse.

Ok so I am back already.
The idea is that I log stuff that happens.
Well I need to mention that it floors me how much Jake knows about my computer or my Iphone for that matter. He is sitting beside me right now and we were on Facebook and he started saying Triangle. I press it and we can watch the show. He saw a play button and pressed it so we could watch the video. He then started to put the volume louder and asked me if that was better.
It's a scary thought that my kids will surpass my knowledge of technology before they even hit their teen years. Scary scary thought indeed.

My list of to do's before Christmas isn't huge but it is hard to figure out how I am going to get the stuff that needs to be done at the last minute done with three little ones running and/or crawling all over the place.
Well Chris is going to work from home on the 24th YAY and Jake will go spend the day with Grampie and Grandmaman (Chris' grandmother). If Jake stayed home he would distract Chris all day and Chris is anticipating a day spent on the phone. The girls will be able to play while Chris works and I can make soup for Christmas lunch, pack all the stuff for the next day at the inlaws and tidy up the house for the big party here on Boxing Day.
Packing shouldn't be too bad since we aren't spending the night or anything but it is still a lot of stuff to bring. Good thing we have a highchair there, a crib and playpen, toys (lots of new ones will be opened anyway), cup for Jake, blankets, bibs, etc. I still need to pack diapers for three, wipes, change of clothing and pjs to come home in, formula and baby food for the girls. Maybe a saucer for the girls to play in as they enjoy being standing. I also need to bring the soup I will be making and the stocking stuffers and remaining presents (most are already there due to the lack of tree here).
I am also hoping Canada Post comes by today with the rest of the stuff that I have ordered. They even had the nerve to send me a delivered email yesterday for some wool diaper covers I ordered for the girls but I didn't receive them. Delivered yeah right! I am also waiting on a tee shirt I ordered for Dom (MIL) and some free shirts I got through a cereal promotion that I was going to add to my dad's and Aidan's presents. GRRRR
On my to do list today was vacuuming which I did first thing so the girls could safely play on the floor. Ill get dishes done throughout the day and try to keep up with the ever growing pile of laundry. If the rest of my stuff arrives I will wrap it all up too. Fun day huh!! LOL

Christmas is only a few days away. While overall we are ready for everything it doesn't really feel like Christmas to me. We didn't put up a tree this year for several reasons. One, the girls are starting to crawl and I didn't feel like constantly getting them out from under the tree. Putting a gate around a tree means your tree area will take more space which leads me to reason two. We have no room to put said tree. Last year it was in the rec room in the basement but now Aidan's bedroom stuff is there since the girls took over the room he was in. I did put up and decorate my tree but at someone else's house. Lyssa and Andy didn't have a tree yet so they have ours up. It was rather odd putting it up there.
So with no tree my presents are scattered all over the place. I have some presents at my inlaws already. Some presents are in the laundry room, our bedroom, some on the change table in the hall... Sigh! I barely have any decorations up. I have a garland with lights up on our curtain poles and a few snowmen around but that is it. My wreath keeps falling off the door so its now hiding in the closet. Next year, I will be more organized. That is my answer to everything this year....next year will be better!
So it seems the girls have fallen asleep for their first nap and Jake is happily playing with toys so I will do dishes and maybe attempt to take water out of the dishwasher that is either clogged or didn't drain last night. The fun never ends!
