One, Two, Three Blow!!


PRESENTS!!
Well, the rain held off for the most part and we were able to have Andrew’s party outside. YIPPEE!! It started sprinkling right at the time we were going to eat so I put a quilt on the floor in the living room and the kids had a picnic inside, which they were completely happy with.
Abby and Andrew didn’t know that we had rented the jumpy thing and the look on their faces was priceless. They were so excited and honestly Marty and I had fun jumping too. All and all, party day was a lot of fun. Well, that is until about 10:30 pm. Marty and I were dead dog tired and went to sleep around 10:00. At 10:30 we hear Andrew saying “daddy, daddy” Andrew NEVER calls so Marty went to check on him. I hear the door open and then Marty promptly calls me. I knew exactly what I was going in to. Andrew had thrown up all in his bed. Marty puts him in the bath and I strip his bed. Marty and I were still holding onto the thought that it was just all the junk food he ate at his party (he was camped out in front of the puppy chow for a good 15 minutes) We put him in our bed and 15 minutes later we figured out that it was not the junk food. He had the stomach bug AGAIN. Andrew had it 2 Friday’s ago, I got it the following Monday, Abby had it last Wednesday and Andrew got it again on Saturday. I want this bug out of my house and I want it gone now. So far Marty has stayed well and we are keeping our fingers crossed. Poor Andrew baby, he threw up 6 times from 10:30 until 2:00. We only had to change our sheets once, after that we were able to get him to the bathroom in time. Marty and I did have to laugh at his expense though (maybe we were just delirious by this point) He would lean over into the toilet bowl so far that we thought he was going to stick his face in the water. He would also put his little foot up on the toilet bowl rim to get more leverage; it was pretty darn funny in the middle of the night. I guess you had to be there because writing it out seems pretty gross not funny, but at the time we were cracking up.
Party planning is over for a few more months until we start planning Abby’s horsey (that’s what she wants at the moment, it could change by tomorrow though) party. I love planning their parties.

Wow, what a day! I'm glad you were able to laugh at how it all ended. I hope no one else catches the stomach bug in your house again!
