So the last couple of days have not been the best here at our house. My saga starts on Saturday night when Kory and I thought it would be fun to take the girls and go out to dinner. Like most of you we are on a budget and we don't eat out very often, but we had some gift certificates to a restaurant we have never tried and thought it would be a good night to try them out. So we packed up all the kids and went to go eat. Dinner was great (except for the fact that Kortnie didn't like anything they had). Well we go to pay our bill and find out that this restaurant has been sold and they are no longer accepting the gift certificates that Kory and I had. WHAT!!! Apparently there was a sign on the door when we came in, but neither Kory or I saw it. So CRAPPY! We thought we had a free dinner and ended up having to pay $60.00! We were both so upset after that.
Well we went from there to get the girls Halloween costumes. I have been meaning to get them sooner, it just never worked out. Well we got to the store and they had lots of costumes, but of course not the ones my girls wanted. Skylar originally wanted to be Belle from Beauty and the Beast, but they have nothing so she decides to be Wonder Woman. To make a long story longer, after paying so much for dinner we decide we don't want to pay $30.00 for a cheap Wonder Woman costume. Luckily Kory and I remember our neighbor was Wonder Woman last year and I think she will let me borrow the costume. So we start looking for Kortnie. I can't believe how much the stores want to charge for a flimsy, cheap piece of material! Well she finds a princess Liana costume. (This is one of the princesses from the new Barbie Diamond Castle movie). Anyway we buy it for her, but I am so frustrated with Halloween because I spent money on a stupid costume that no one is going to see because it is so thin I will have to cover it up in order for her to stay warm! UGHHH!
Well to top the evening off we get home and Kory wakes up at about 2:00 am just sick as a dog! I have known Kory for almost 10 years now and I can't remember him ever throwing up since I met him. Well let me tell you he was worshipping that toilet! YUCK! He was in bed all day. So I took all three kids to church so that he could have some piece and quiet. Luckily it was a short lived bug and he was filling much better by yesterday morning.
To end the saga, last night was Canadian Thanksgiving. Kory's sister-in-law is from Canada and every year they hold Canadian Thanksgiving. So after dance and soccer we headed up to Kenny and Mandy's home. The whole way up Kortnie is complaining that her stomach hurts. Well this is nothing new, because for the last little while every time we are in the car for more than 5 minutes she complains her stomach hurts. We get to Kenny and Mandy's and as soon as we are out of the car - yup, Kortnie pukes all over the side walk. Unfortunately it was not just car sickness. She was up all night super sick. POOR GIRL! And now Holland is acting all lethargic. He is not showing the same signs as Kory and Kortnie, but he is not is usual self this morning. Lets hope he is feeling better soon.
Cross your fingers that Skylar and I stay healthy! And don't come around for a couple of days, I don't want to get anyone sick!
