Home from work and sick kids

While I probably could have worked some today, aqua aerobics is good for you, Maja is still ill so I have be home and take care of her. She's very clinging and has a temperature still so not much gets done here. I will try and glue the gingerbread house together with melted sugar in a while, after I've had lunch, but apart from that I've only managed ot empty the dish washer and wrap Rickard's christmas present. Vendela is home too, she has a migraine for the third day running. She is very pale and tired, but can at least read now.
Valeria will soon be home since school ends today.

Some achievements

however small:

* The gingerbread house is decorated with icing and M&Ms (not really, but very similar candy)

* The second pink striped leg warmer is almost finished

* I sent money to flummoxicated for the postage for my latest sock order. I however sent the wrong amount, 10$ instead of 11. This is probably due to the fact that Maja was sitting in my lap whining while I was doing it and that I have gotten very little sleep the last week due to her being sick. Will have to be corrected tomorrow.

* I picked up three packages from the post, one with fabric, one some of the kids' christmas presents and one a book from a book club that we forgot to cancel.

* Made meatballs for dinner and for friday night when we will sit down and eat late after the ham and everything else for christmas is finished. This is called "Uppesittarkvällen" which means "staying up night" and is the time when you sit down, take some glögg (mulled red wine, some of the christmas ham, christmas candy etc and just relax, knowing that all is finished for tomorrow. I don't like christmas ham so the meatballs are mainly for me. We're celebrating christmas at my sister's place this year so all we have to make is the ham that we're going to bring.

Tomorrow I will make chocolate fudge and knäck and armillary will come over too.
