My Amazing Helpers

I felt like I should write this down and what better place than here.  So sorry if you don't want to read it but I want to remember this. 

Last night was a long night for me.  Grace woke up in the middle of the night throwing up.  So Earl and I had to tag team and get the bed and Grace cleaned up.  Thank goodness I have such a wonderful husband who is willing to help out even when he has to be at the hospital early the next morning.   We finally got Grace cleaned up and settled back into bed and we got settled down when I heard her throwing up again.  This time she kept it in the crib but got it all over her.  Needless to say, more cleanup ensued.  She had a bath, things thrown in the washer, etc.  Finally got her down and seemed like things were calm.  She slept for the rest of the night so I thought everything was going to be good for the next day. 
When I went to get the girls up for school, the room did not smell so hot.  Grace had exploded out of her diaper all over herself and her bed.  Samantha had also peed in her bed.  So first thing I had to do was give a bath to Grace and get Samantha cleaned up.  Nadya was amazing through this whole process.  She got herself dressed and ready for school.  Then she went down and got herself and Samantha's breakfast ready so that I could finish cleaning up Grace and get the beds stripped and laundry started.  Nadya and Samantha were so great through the whole process.  They didn't complain at all, even when Nadya was running out the door with her shoes untied and her coat hanging on her arm so she could make it to the bus. 
I am so blessed to have such great girls.  This day could have been a whole lot worse but they made it work.  No complaining just doing what I asked and even doing things before I asked.  Grace was great too.  Even feeling sick, she barely complained and just gave me snuggles and smile.  I love my girls and Earl so much.  I am extremely blessed to have them.
