the sick bunch
The Hawley family had the pleasure of emptying stomach contents all weekend. It started with me on Friday night. Let it be noted that I’ll never eat homemade chicken pot pie. Ever. Again. I was feeling better by the next night, but then Annie woke up in the middle of the night for her turn with the stomach bug. After soiling her bedding I set up a little bed on the floor in our room with a bowl next to her. I finally fell asleep hard enough to sleep through her waking up to use her bowl every hour. She told me the next morning that she threw up 7 times total. Poor thing. By mid-morning on Sunday Mike was feeling it. He still had to go to church to teach his lesson, but promptly came home to sleep. Mike is home from work today still feeling week. So far the bug has skipped over Mimi and Violet, and I pray and cross fingers that it continues to do so. Mike and I had a date night planned for Saturday night, but it just wasn’t going to happen. Such a fun weekend.
At least leading up to the weekend was nice. Violet and I made a little visit to the library together. She was so sweet carrying her BIG bunny and just exploring. I did get a persnickety comment from an older lady questioning me, “You couldn’t give her something smaller to carry around?” Umm, you try to taking that bunny away from her, and tell me how that turns out. Today, it’s Joey that is glued to her arms so much so that it attended Kids’ Court with her while Mommy worked out.
While at the ill-fated chicken pot pie meal on Friday night we noticed Mimi was being silly with her headband and made a new hairdo for herself. So Mike exaggerated the look for her. She was laughing so hard that she could hardly keep her head up. I already know how Auntie Sara will classify her look.
Annie gave the same look a try, but her curly hair just can’t withstand the height like Mimi’s.
Poor Violet wanted to partake in the fun, but she doesn’t have enough hair yet. Give it another 2 years, Violet. Notice Lucy’s permanent dinner stance.
In other news, here is day 5 of frenchy. Still holding up pretty good. I do have a chip on my pointer finger, ring finger and a teeny one on my other thumb nail. Hopefully, the next time we do this my nails will be a tad longer so that we can “cap the ends” better.
