Day 1565. I had forgotten to turn off the 7:15 am alarm that we need when Sammy goes to kindergarten. Randy got up right away, and so we ended up having plenty of time to get ready to leave the house just before 9 am. We got on the subway and rode it for a few stops, then we had a 20 minute walk ahead of us.
Day 1564. Wednesday was Saint Nicolas day, and so the kids were eager to open the apartment door to see what Saint Nicolas put into their shoes during the night. And so they were already up at 6:30 am. I went to the door with them and unlocked it. I wished I had recorded their reaction, when they opened the door! Emmy is the most expressive.
Day 1562. Sammy was up first, and Randy was up before my alarm went off at 7:15 am. Tammy was asleep to my left and Emmy to my right, and even when the alarm went off and I quickly cut it off, they continued sleeping. After a while Tammy woke up first, then Emmy, and soon they were all up and asking to open their advent calendars.
