On the fifth day of vacation


We've been taking it easy today. The kids were up around 10am and immediately started playing with new toys. Hazel is blinging her new rock band she got from Zane and Audrey while August has been putting some bionicles together in he room. Trey and I each took turns going to the gym...Lord knows we need to spend HOURS there to make up for all the fudge, lemon bars, dips, coffees and who knows what else we've devoured these last few days.
Later today we're going to the Nyssen's semi-annual Boxing Day party. We attempted to find a sitter for the kids and actually secured one but she called to say that she woke up rather sick and didn't think she could come after all. So the kids are coming with us. We'll bring a laptop and keep them in Rachel's bedroom so they'll be out of the way.
August and Hazel were given new pajamas on Christmas Eve...it took a long time for August to change out of them on Christmas Day. I'm pretty sure he was in them until we left for the 5:30 movie. It's safe to say that he liked them a bunch.

how in the world do you get your children to sleep in so late? i'm jealous :). is there a trick?
we've had a lazy day, too...nice way to spend the day after christmas. i feel sorry for the people (like my husband!) who had to go back to work today. doesn't seem fair.

sara- we have always had a pretty quiet morning. I think they just sleep till something wakes em...or,we could just be lucky.

Tan- I'd love to hear about your vacation...I've been wanting to call but time gets away from me...I'll shoot to call you tomorrow. I'm excited about your new job, sounds pretty perfect.
