Vomit and New Shoes (but not vomit on the new shoes)

Here it is, already Friday, and I am just now getting around to writing about LAST weekend. My poor, neglected blog. So....last weekend. I had Monday off so I decided to take Ellie to see Beauty and the Beast 3D. I invited her cousins, Kinleigh and Olivia, to join us. When I picked up Olivia, Sabrina informed me that Kolby had been throwing up all morning and I might not want to take Olivia. As if I would leave her at home when she was all dressed up in her Belle slippers and carrying a rose and a Belle figurine! I figured that since she hadn't thrown up all morning she was probably fine. Famous last words. As soon as we were seated and the theater darkened, Olivia threw up. I took her and cleaned her up and told her to vomit in her clear, plastic purse if she felt sick again. What? She still wanted to watch the movie and so did the other girls! By the next morning, both Kinleigh and Ellie were throwing up.

I also took Ellie to buy a new pair of Twinkle Toe Sketchers last weekend. Remember how conflicted I was about those shoes? Heehee. Now Ellie's thing is that she wants an iTouch because her cousins have them. On this, I am standing firm because Ellie loses everything. Oh, and she is 5. She kept begging and pleading until I told her she could have one when she is 8. I am sure technology won't have changed at all by then, right?

When Ellie was getting dressed for school this morning, she pulled out her old, ugly Montessori t-shirt. I think she had worn it like twice for field trips back in the day. I tried to push her towards a different outfit, but apparently it is twin day at school and she and her little friend (who also used to go to her daycare) had planned this whole outfit together...right down to their matching Twinkle Toe Sketchers.
