may 26th - don't step there

The day started fine. Mommy and Daddy getting a jump on the holiday weekend and getting stuff done while the kids were in school. Not so fast. While walking into school, Gemma suddenly vomited. Right on Mommy's shoe.  Daddy had to run and get paper towels. Mommy was like a soldier who stepped on a mine and could not budge:). Had to take a photo before getting towels.  

Needless to say our 'alone day' just got turned upside down. As we were driving to run errands, Gemma gave us another vomit warning and Daddy pretty much drove up on someone's lawn and Mommy pulled her out of the car. Saved the car but we took casualties on Gemma's pants and sneakers. 

Crazy start to the day, but jesus was watching over us.  Gemma was in Alex's seat which allowed for the quicker escape AND we were returning some clothes while out on errands so Gemma had a makeshift change of clothes available. We dropped Mommy off at Beeps' house to go buy flowers and Gemma got a new skirt, which she added to her ensemble and wore all day long while hanging with Daddy. 

We finally got to celebrate Mommy's birthday the proper way...with Kelly cake. Alex picked out a cool Moon Cactus all by himself to give to Mommy and GemGem gave her pretty flowers. Another rollercoaster of a day. Serious belly laughing.
