Day 1498. This morning the kids were up before the alarm went off at 7:15 am. At 8:15 Randy left the house with Sammy to take him to kindergarten. I went straight to work making a casserole for lunch, and both Tammy and Emmy helped me. Then we did school. I gave them different papers with tasks to do, and they did a great job.

Day 1497. This morning the boys were up bright and early again, at 7:15, which is when we have to get up during the week. I got up to take care of them, even though I was really tired. Thankfully the worst of the cough has subsided now, so that this was the second night where I was able to sleep.

Day 1496. You appreciate the weekend so much more, when you have to get up early during the week. This morning it was Emmy who was the first one up an hour later than when we have been getting up. It was 8:15. Sammy was up right away as well, and it didn't take long for Tammy to wake up. I got up and opened all the curtains and gave them what they needed.
