Those 3 little words

Happy 4th of July!! We didn't get a present for the USA...but we did put the flag out. Good enough? Lakewood (our subdivision) had a little kids parade today. Basically the kids can ride their bikes around a bit. We missed it last year, so Katie and the kids have been getting excited about it. 1. Katie got up early (nothing new there) and started decorating the bikes. 2. Then Mary Ann storms in and upstairs. Katie then comes in to tell me that Mary Ann cut her hair again. Just a little trim of her bangs, you can't really even notice. But, this is the 3rd time and so we had to punish her. So, no parade for her. But we did relent so she could watch. 3. On the way there, Rose announces that she forgot any shoes. So back we go! 4. On the second time there, we find that the bridge we usually take just closed as they shoot off the fireworks from there. So...had Rose had shoes we would have made it. 5. We get there and I drop Katie and Rose off to go register. I get Peter out into his nice stroller and Mary Ann is watching him. Then I get balloons out to attach them and the wind blows them away. They pop on the grass. Shoot. 6. Then came those 3 little words from Mary Ann. "Peter threw up." All over himself. Pool of vomit in the stroller. Some on the sidewalk, so I'm sure all the runners are really happy. We got the chunks off for the most part, stripped him to his diaper on the sidewalk and I took him home. 7. After cleaning him off we went back to pick up Katie and the girls. When we got home, Peter said he felt like sitting on the potty. Immediately after sitting, he said he didn't feel good and put his hands up to his mouth. I did the quick flip with him and he threw up again in the little potty. 8. We were all planning on going to see Brave, but now I'm stuck at home with him. He watched TV for a while, now he's in bed hopefully to sleep it off. 9. Finally, we had to cancel our party for tonight. Katie's college friends and their families were going to come over for a BBQ, but since they have infants they elected to not expose them to Peter. Oh well...happy 4th of July!!
