Migraine Holly, vomiting and coughing P, sensitive and snotty K, and sore throat J. That was our family today!

I went to bed with a migraine, had a horrible night sleep with cray dreams, and woke up with a migraine. Thankfully, J let me sleep in super late. But he woke me up so we could take the girls to the movies as promised. My sister gave them money for their birthday to go to the movies. So to Happy Feet 2 we went.

The chicks loved the movie. Cute penguins, singing and dancing- what more do you need? It really was cute and the girls sat still for the whole movie. They ate popcorn and had juice. Everyone was happy.

Then, on the ride home, P got upset and was coughing. two seconds before we pulled into our driveway, she vomited. A lot. And then a lot more. So we got the girls in the house, stripped them down, threw them in the bath. Stripped the carseat down, threw what we could in the washer and hosed off the rest. I am thinking the popcorn + coughing/phlegm were the vomit culprits. But if her cough and snot (which she has shared with her sister) don't ease up, a trip to the dr might be in order.

Since we were all feeling yucky in one way or another, the evening was spent in pj's with a new but forgotten present. J and I bought the girls dry erase preschool books. Letter, number, and shape tracing. And all on dry erase, so they can be practiced a million times without murdering a trillion trees. The girls loved their new books. We worked on letters, and a little on numbers. They were so excited to trace the letters and get an idea of how to write them. J and I were the proud parents cheering on their girls. It was a great thing to watch, and I can't wait to do it all again tomorrow.
