This morning I was the first out of bed. I headed off to the washroom and when I got back the ‘fun’ began.
When I opened the trailer door and told the boys it was time to get moving nothing really exciting happen then Q started to fuss. The bad kind of fussing. And sure enough Arnold’s hand got under his mouth just in time to deal with the puke. Yep he was sick! Dang our luck sucks!
We managed to get Q changed into some different clothes and he seemed ok. We found out later that he wasn’t. He was just getting ready for the next bout of puking. I felt so bad for him. He won’t spit forward (sorry if TMI) he would rather stick his head back and just swallow. This proved an issue in the car later.
Anyway we got him changed, loaded up the car and he puked again. Then we headed off to get Arnold’s wheel fixed. Q got sick again in the car. Arnold and I had to trade places because his arms were longer and he could pull Q’s head forward to puke instead of him swallowing everything. The poor boy. We brought it to the shop and they said it would take until Tuesday… hum no thanks! So Arnold started to call around and find a new place while I drove to Wal-Mart. We got some dugs for Q and some snacks for our picnic later in the day. We went from there to Old Navy and got our Canada Day Shirts. I can tell now that K is going to have the $$ taste. We had some Canada Day shirts and he told me he didn’t like it and wanted a different one so we got that instead… 7.50 more than his brothers shirt. Oh good… teenage years will drain our bank accounts.
Arnold and Q came out of the car and went in with us to Old navy to get cleaned up then headed out just as we were paying. When we got out Q was sitting on Arnold’s lap on the side of the parking lot thing throwing up again. I just wanted to scoop him up and snuggle him but he wouldn’t have it. I put him in his seat and called the Drs Office. We have a WONDERFUL doctor’s office. They have walk-in’s for the kids on the weekends and they had one at our office so Kyler and I jumped out of the car at Lawrence and Midland and brought our soccer stuff and Arnold and Q went to the doctor’s office and the bike shop (we found one that would have it ready by 1pm that day). K and I stopped for some quick breakfast and walked over to the school.

It took us a bit but we got there in time. At least what I felt was in time. He got a super cute photo of him in his uniform and the team photos. We were missing some people but that’s ok. I’m going to bring my camera and get a photo of the whole team later this summer and just e’mail everyone.
We waited around for a bit and the kids had some ice cream.
Arnold showed up shortly after we were done, like around 11:30 or so and we all drove down to the Bluffs. The doctor told Arnold that it was most likely food poising or the flu. Just to treat the symptoms and stay off dairy. Lori and her family stopped and got something to eat at a subway. Kristina and her family along with us, stopped and got something to eat (some had bigger issues getting food than others). We met up and found a picnic table and had our lunches. Kristina, Tim and E had to be home around 2pm so they left as well as Kevin, Lori, Lo and Ke. So the boys and I went down to the ‘beach’ area. We stopped and got some popsicles and headed down. Q threw up again so when we got there he and daddy change their shirts. We played for about 45 minutes to 1 hour and then headed home. Our packing pass was up by then but we had A LOT of fun. We will go back again once Q is feeling better and without a stroller. Arnold and I figure a backpack, some snacks and a blanket and we are good to go!
On the way home the boys took a nap. Arnold drove nice and slow and we even got to stop at McDonalds and get something to drink. We headed home and took our time. We opened up the van and let the boys keep sleeping while I relaxed on the hammock and Arnold chilled out on a chair. When Q got up he came and snuggled with me and seemed to be better. K got up shortly after and came out and snuggled as well. They went biking and met a new friend. He was visiting his grandparents so they got to hang out. He plays soccer as well so he and K were kicking around the ball. They had a blast.
We eventually got hungry and wanted something good for supper. We packed everyone up and went to M&M’s and got some turkey wrapped in bacon, and double stuffed potatoes. WE started to cook and found out we had no propane left! That meant supper was delayed. Actually by the time we ate it was closer to 7:30pm or so. We had a great supper once it was cooked, but we did come to realized that we need to go shopping! WE wanted to use some butter and we had left it in the microwave and it got warm, melted and molded! Can you tell it’s been a bit since we needed the butter? So yeah shopping list was started then and there!
We headed off to bed after the boys went for some bike rides. They had a lot of comments on our ‘mini-van-bike’. It was fun! On the last ride with the boys I stayed home and did some catching up and got to visit with our neighbours who were leaving the next day. They have been here for a month from Texas visiting her mother and some family members. They gave us their left over wood (2 bags worth) and we got to visit a bit about things around the campground and such. It was fun.
