Starbucks Upchuck

Well, today we went to Starbucks because I thought we were good to go. I got the little ones their usual chocolate milk. Cason chugged his, and then PUKED it up all over the rug in the middle of the store. So now HE has had his first public vomit. We cleaned it up as well as we could, and then I had to ask for a wet rag to finish the job. The girls were really nice actually, and smiled, although they sure didn't offer to clean it up for me like they do with crumbs we spill. Haha, not that I would have made them do it anyway.

I do think Cason's pretty much better though, I think his stomach's just not quite ready for a lot of dairy. All the times he threw up AFTER Saturday were right after nursing. One good thing that did come of our trip to Starbucks: I bought this AWESOME little thang. For Paige technically, but I'm pretty sure I'll be back for one for me soon. Look at the kissing deer and the tiny mushrooms along the bottom. Best ever.
So since I wasn't SURE they're totally healthy now, Jess had to go to his basketball game alone, while we stayed home and I made dinner. :( Paige helped him get stretched out before he left though.
(This may interest you Skifter, Jess and my father are playing in the same division, and will therefore be playing eachother at some point. Should be awesome.)

Paige has been REALLY picky about food lately, and doesn't want to eat most things I make. She loves frozen taquitos from the store, so I thought I'd make some homemade ones, to make them a little healthier. I made shredded beef in the crockpot, and some pico de gallo, some quacamole, and some lime cilantro sour cream for dipping, and they were a HIT! She was eating one calmly and goes, all matter of fact, "I like it."
Today would've been Granny's birthday. It's been almost 2 years already, and sometimes I realize she's gone and I'm still surprised I can't see her again. In this life anyway. I'll be fine and then suddenly want to cry like it just happened. Happy birthday Granny, we love and miss you.

I went home thrilled informing Will that Paige finally spoke to me and that Cason gave me lots of stares and a dirty look. Maybe his dirty look was just because he was planning on barfing in Starbucks. I don't look forward to public throw up episodes with children at all. I guess you just learn to handle it the best you can because you don't have a choice. I love that cute little cup you got there....a BUNCH!

I would love to see video coverage of the epic battle between those two majestic warriors

That's exactly why you got the staredown Skye. And Chris, I'll try. Unfortunately the REAL video camera is too complicated for my simple mind to figure out, and I'm unable to load video to the computer. But I can use our old digital camera, although the quality will be quite poor.

I loved your Granny post. You're sweet in the heart.

I cracked up at this post! I hated it when my kids got the pukes.......they didn't understand why they felt so terrible. Brandon always puked all over the world he could never contain it. Skye was a lady when it came to puking. :)

I know! It's the worst! You can't explain it to them, you just comfort them as well as you can.

That's so funny, mine are the same way. Cason just keeps moving around, and I'm trying to move a towel around to keep the puke on it, but Paige just sorta holds still.
