Vacation!!

So Jesse and I haven't had a vacation with just the two of us since our honeymoon almost 8 years ago.... in fact we haven't spent anytime away from home together with the exception of the time in the hospital when I had the kids!! So imagine how excited I am that we are going to a conference this weekend at the Mt. Washington Hotel!!! YEAH!!! What makes it even better is that we got a scholarship to go so that the conference and the hotel room are all taken care of!!!! I am so excited to get away that I am already packed!
But of course, just about anything that can go wrong has gone wrong so far this week.... Where to start, we Cora and Haylee were sick ALL last week -- I am so sick of cleaning up puke -- but they have been puke free since Sunday which is good, but Haylee started running a fever on Monday afternoon -- ARGGG! I think it is from teething though, she has 4 teeth coming in on the top so she is very unhappy!!
Let's see, Cora has entered into her naked stage! Many of you may remember that Aidan was in this stage for a VERY long time -- I hope Cora doesn't last that long. I must of dressed her at least 10 times today and each time she would run upstairs and strip!
And then there's Aidan... I think he is just missing the routine of school. Vacation weeks for him are always difficult for us, although I am impressed that it took him till today before he lost it... but we have made it to the half way point in his vacation so now we enter the downward spiral until it is time to return to school -- not my most favorite time in vacations....
Finally, the van is on the fritz...it is not running well at all! So it is going into the shop on Friday --- we are praying that it will last that long --- and we are going to get a rental for the week so that Jesse can still work since we will need to money to pay for the van repair....
Oh, what a week -- but at least there is a light at the end of the tunnel!!
