Happenings here!

Good morning all!

Yesterday (Saturday) we all piled into the van and went to the circus. Our children have never experienced the circus so we thought it would be a wonderful diversion from our normal Saturday happenings. It started at 4:00 and we arrived there at 3:59! We had pretty good seats, and the excitement was wonderful! I didn't get alot of pictures of the actual show because of lighting issues, but I have a few of the children enjoying popcorn and cotton candy. It was almost 3 hrs long. It was great! However about 15 minutes before the last act came on little Lily began to throw up! Yup right there at the circus! At first she got herself and the side of my dress, and then I gave her the empty popcorn box to use. Then I ushered her to the bathroom to get somewhat cleaned up. By the time we were headed back to our seats the crowd was leaving the building so Ihad to make my way through the crowd going the wrong way with a 2 yr old and a sick 5 yr old. I got to our seats and Steve had everything gathered up so we joined the crowd and began our trek back to our van. We did stop to get t-shirts for all the girls, and had a clown sign them. It was quite windy and cold when we were walking back to our van and the girls were very cold but so excited that they hardly noticed, except Lily. We made it within 2 blocks of our house when Lily began to "blow" again. We stopped at the gas station and Steve grabbed several paper towels and gave them to me. I found a plastic bag that had the t-shirts in and threw them on the floor and gave the empty bag to Lily, but it was too late! She already emptied her stomach over the side of her booster seat between the seat and side of the van. She didn't want to vomit into the seat beside her because she said there was a library book sitting there! LOL!

Anyway, except for sickness it was a wonderful time at the circus. Now I have to get back to my three ring circus! Until another time!
