On Saturday, while these 2 were at their 5 1/2 hour rehearsal, my SIL, Ellen, my MIL, Di Anna and I decided to enjoy the beautiful fall day and took the 5 boys to the FAIR!!!!
They had a fantastic time riding all the kiddie rides and playing with each other!
Henderson satyed in his stroller nearly the entire time - I commented that it was a little odd that he was being SO GOOD! Well, about 3 hours later, when he started coughing in my car, right after I put him, and then threw up, BIG TIME, 3 times in a row in his car seat, I knew why! Did I mention that Will was out of town? And I had just picked up Emma Claire from her practice and that I still had to take them all home and bathe them and get them to bed and - uhhhhhgggg....I was SUPPOSED to be the lead character in the drama for our children's church the next morning.....I couldn't exactly leave Henderson home by himself, nor could I take him to church.....so I ran home, got my script and ran it by Ellen's house (with Henderson STILL strapped in his vomit-covered car seat) (Ellen also happened to be home by herself with all 4 children all weekend - the guys were at the KY vs. AL game). She willingly took on the roles, not that she had much other choice (well, I guess she could have kept my vomit-laden child, but she chose the better!) Henderson has kept a croupy cough, which is what I think led to the vomiting, but otherwise has been great!
Back to the FAIR!
I even got to ride something!
Let me just tell you about his little roller coaster - if you go to this fair, DO NOT PUT YOUR YOUNG CHILD ON THIS!!!! It is EXTREMELY rough and jerky and it lasted, no kidding, 8 minutes - the guy wouldn't stop it! Ellen laughed and said, "he's making it last forever so no child in their right mind will ask to get on it ever again!"
Look at those about-to-puke faces!!!!!
This is much BETTER!
I also rode the bumper cars with Wilson - I can' t believe he doesn't have whiplash after riding with me - I think I got a little competitive and carried away! What a fun time - we are planning to go back again with the girls this time, if this rain will EVER GO AWAY!!!!!
