Sick Easter....

The kids and I made it here to my parents house just fine on Thursday. Pretty uneventful trip except for the side trip into McDonalds. I think we stopped in the smallest McDonalds in the US. It is in Arkadelpha, Arkansas and they are also the slowest....the small order we made took over 10 minutes! We all went inside and used the restroom and then while we were waiting on our order (about minute #8) Sus says that she really needs to use the restroom and can't wait. So, I had Grace take her to the restroom (I could see the restroom from the front counter, remember it was small) and then Grace runs out yelling, "Mom, Susie has diarrhea all over the bathroom floor and you need to come and get her!!" So, I got our food, put it on the table closest to the bathroom and went in to survey the damage. Yes, Grace was right and I had to clean up a mess that was not in my bathroom all the while holding Parker on my hip. Yes, gross, very, very gross. I used LOTS of soap afterwards, to say the least. And, I don't think I ate after that...the girls did, but I did not really want to eat anymore for some reason. We made it to mom and dad's house in plenty of time and the rest of the drive was fine.

Friday and Saturday were fun and relaxing. We just hung out with Miss Tammie, Miss Beckie, Miss Vivian and Reagan mostly and it was great. Saturday night, we all got ready and went over to Spring Sing on campus. Parker and Susie lasted for 40 minutes and then we left to come back to mom and dad's house...Grace stayed at Spring Sing with my mom and her friends and LOVED every minute of the show. She was so cute when they got home. She got to meet some of the kids in the show and to her it was like meeting a movie star. Pretty cute. She went to sleep saying, "Thanks mom, it was the best show ever." And then fell asleep.

She woke us up at 4:45 AM throwing up....yes, throwing up. She was sleeping with my parents and she threw up all over my dad's back. It was so gross and he was such a great sport and got her to the toilet to finish her business. Of course, she was finishing her business ALL morning. She threw up until about 7:30 this morning and then she just ran out of things to throw up...she was sooo sad. So, the rest of the family went to church and I stayed at home with the little ones. My parents have a huge potluck here at their house every Easter and there were lots of people coming over. Poor Grace had to stay upstairs all day by herself while everyone else was downstairs having fun going through their Easter baskets and having a big Easter egg hunt. She still wasn't better tonight so Mom found their doctor at church and he called in something to Walgreens that made her stop throwing up and put her to sleep. I haven't decided yet if we are going to leave tomorrow or not. If Grace is still sick, we will just stay and leave for home on Tuesday. She isn't going to be able to play in her softball game tomorrow night anyway so there is no need to rush home if she is sick.

We have had a great weekend with family and many friends....despite the throwing up from Grace!! Hope ya'll had a happy Easter, I'll post some pictures when we get home!
