Day 1575. After an intense weekend, and for me a short night, we were pretty tired this morning. I had to get up to make Sammy's snack box for kindergarten, then lay back down next to Tammy who was the only one still asleep, and she was in our bed again after 3 nights of staying in her own bed. She soon got up, though, and I helped all the kids open their advent calendars.

 Day 1574. I had gone to bed just before 2:30 am. My alarm was set for 8 am, but of course they were up earlier than that. Today it was Emmy who was up first, and his noise woke up Sammy right away. Tammy had slept in her own bed for the third night in a row. Emmy wanted to open his advent calendars right away, but I asked him to let me at least sleep until the alarm went off.

 Day 1573. It was the second night in a row, where Tammy did not join us in bed during the night. Emmy only came once he was up. Of course it was Sammy who was up first.  Emmy just wanted to open his advent calendars, so we opened them all together. They had some breakfast, then I got them ready, and at 10 am we all left the house together.
