Well, last week Jordan didn't go to school Wednesday through Friday. And actually her fever didn't break until Saturday night. So, our week was a little different than usual but it was still a fun one. I caught a few pictures of the kids and some of the extra activities we did.
The next few pictures are of the kids with their sticker project. (And I use the word "project" loosely.) Some friends sent the kids each a sticker set of a Nativity Scene. We talked about where Jesus was born, the star in the sky, all the animals around and how the wise men came to visit. The pictures below are where the kids felt the stickers should be arranged. Isaac with his "closed eye" smile and his amazing work with stickers. I personally like how the wise men are falling over or in the sky with the angel!!!
And Jordan with hers. She did a pretty good job if I do say so myself.
I do have to disclose that I did help Sydney with hers. But she was just as proud as if she had done the entire thing all on her own. (The stars were all Sydney!)
And along with the stickers we made a ginger bread house. It was great. The kids were all coughing with runny noses and we were constructing a house made of cookie and candy that we would later eat when everyone got better (therefore reinfecting ourselves for another fun week of fevers and congestion!) However, it was a fun craft and the kids did have a good time. Here are pictures to prove it.

And Isaac with the house. I am pretty sure he ate more candy while he was decorating than he put on it.
And Jordan, look how healthy she looks in this photo. You would never have guessed that she woke up with a fever of 105 that morning!
And finally a group shot of the three of them.

And I managed to get a picture of Isaac with his eyes open!!!!
And another thing Sydney and Jordan enjoy doing is riding the broom around the house like a horse. But Jordan insists that it is not a horse, it is a camel. "A camel?" I ask, "Yes" she replies, "a camel has two humps and can carry two people while horses only carry one person at a time." Camel sounded good to me so I just went with it.
Sydney and Isaac did have a good time while Jordan was home. Jordan, on the other hand, really missed school so she was excited to go this morning. But, I think she did have fun on her extra long weekend. I personally am glad that everyone now has a body temperature within normal and acceptable ranges and no one is coughing in my face. So, as the weather gets cooler here are to more sick days at home with the kids!
Love Ya and God Bless, Tara G.

Well one thing about Gallegos's they know how to do with whatever they got and make the best of it. My angels look like they did this day. Thank God for the wonderful Mother & Father that teach them each day.
Love Pape & Nana
