Hanging in There.............

This is a quick post to say the Herdoiza's are hanging in there! I can finally see the light! It has been a rough couple of weeks since Thanksgiving. All the kids have been sick. Amanda had fluid in her lungs and Gabby had RSV and was nearly hospitalized. UGH!! It has been awful. Steve and I have had no sleep and I have never felt more cranky and negative in my whole life. This week things are looking up. Amanda is improving, Gabby is 98% better, and Nick is back to being Nick.

Besides blowing noses, giving breathing treatments, forcing medicine into mouths, driving back and forth to the Dr., going to Brownie meetings, school, and conferences, here is what we have been up to:

Making wish lists, talking about Santa, hoping and keeping our fingers crossed that an American Girl doll will be under the tree this year............

About 2 days before the germ infestation.............

The day before the germ infestation we built a gingerbread house........

Pre-made from Costco.... We ate a lot of icing and candy......

What do you think?


I was cracking up when I saw Nicholas...... and it wasn't because of that silly face........

I said, Nicholas doesn't something seem funny?????? Of course he couldn't figure it out.... I told him to lift up his shirt...... He had been wearing his pants backwards!! The only reason I noticed was because the knees were wearing out in the back of the pants and he had a zipper on his butt. HA, HA!




The winter concert at school...... It is a crazy story. Needless to say, I arrived 10 minutes late and missed the opening act. I was in the last row, by the door. I had to use my telephoto lens without a flash so the pictures didn't quite turn out. This is just when he saw me. Look at that face. He was singing...... I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas........ I tried to get it on tape but my video battery was dead.

So stinkin cute!
Well, I'm off to shower, make lunches, get the kids dressed, go to work, and deliver dinosaur cupcakes to school. Mr. Nicholas turns 5 years old today! I can't believe it!
Until later..............
