Well, for the second week in a row we are home from church with sick kids. I can't tell you the last time I had to stay home from church with a sick one and now twice in a row! We had a great time in Dallas yesterday celebrating my brother's birthday. We spent the day furniture shopping, eating, and trying to stay dry. The boys had fun with undivided Uncle Michael attention!
Last night we ate at Pappadeaux, one of our family's favorite seafood restaurants. After dinner, we got on the highway to head home and from the backseat, we heard what every parent dreads. "Mom, I need to throw up!" There was nothing we could do but tell Matthew to try and keep it in his lap. We stopped at a gas station in the pouring rain to take off his clothes, let him throw up again (two words: seafood platter), and try to clean up as much as we could so as not to make ourselves sick from the smell. Gotta love being a parent!
So Matthew, Mary Beth and I are home this morning preparing our family's Valentine celebration. We have always like celebrating Valentines Day with the children. There will be times for romantic holidays when they are older! We are celebrating today because I have my cake decorating class tomorrow night. I ordered a Collins Chocolate Heart Cake from the Peach Tea Room, my favorite place to eat in Fredericksburg, TX. I am looking forward to our meal and telling each member of the family why I love them!
Had a thought.

So sorry that Matthew got sick in the car. That has to be the worst. I remember one year our drive to Tennessee to visit my dad's parents. My sister barfed in the car....ick! It was a Sunday morning and we were driving through some small town just as church was letting out. This really sweet old lady offered to take us to her house to get Heather cleaned up. I don't think we went, but the offer sure was nice.
Hope you celebrated in style for Michael! ;-)
That bug is going around! Sorry to hear that Matthew is sick. I have somethng for you. I may drop it in your mail box later today. Hope you have a great Valentines day!
I hope you all are feeling better today! We are praying that it does not spread to the rest of the family. I am cooking right now for our special family dinner. The kids love to help. Tell B we are having dark choclate fondue with bananas and strawberries. I know how he loves nanas and chocolate together. It is so fun! Happy Heart Day! Robyn
