Poor kids


Henry got sick after I got better. He was so pitiful. My kids don't seem to know how to take it easy when they are sick; he would throw up and then beg for more food, then play hard with a toy and then come running to me fussing, and then throw up, only to begin the cycle again. By the time Henry got sick, Margaret Mary was really stressed. She had been stuck in the house for three days, and was the only one not feeling sick. She didn't understand why Henry got the big sippy cup and why she couldn't have any special juice (pedilite). She was crying at everything and really needed some personal attention. We decided she needed a special date with Papa. She was so excited about going out and asked to wear her special hat and to bring her special purse. She ended up not taking any of it with her, but it was sweet to see her getting all dressed up by herself for her date with Papa. What made the date extra special was that she got to ride in Papa's cool black rental car (we wrecked our car in the last snow storm). They went to a local bakery and split a cinnamon roll. She was only gone for about thirty minutes, but it helped her mood GREATLY. Margaret Mary loves her Papa!

All dressed up and ready to go.

So glad Katie is feeling better and hope Henry is recovering quickly! His big blue eyes are so amazing. Love Love Love MM's hat and purse and how sweet she looks getting ready for her date. I'm so happy her Papa is so devoted to her but knew he would be such a good dad! Boo on wrecking the car! I need an update on this..Love you all, Tammy
