Canche Chronicles: Haley throws up

THURSDAY morning we had women's Bible study. David left around noon on Thursday for a long trip until Sunday so I left Haley home with him so they could spend some time together. Emily came with me and did really well during the study. Lucy and Evelyn brought her toys and she was happy the whole time. We got home about thirty minutes before David had to leave. We ate lunch and then said goodbye to daddy. Then I put the girls down for naps. Haley slept about two hours and Emily slept around three.

After naps I packed up the girls and we went to run some errands. First we went to the Dollar Store where Jess Maglott had told me that they sell Nature's Own bread for $1! As a matter of fact, they do! The only problem was they were out so I bought another brand of bread for a dollar, I'll let you know if it's any good. After the dollar store we went to Wal-mart and picked up a couple things before heading home. Haley requested waffles for dinner so I toasted some for her and Emily and reheated some spaghetti for myself. I was just getting my dinner out of the microwave when Haley randomly threw up. She had not mentioned that she wasn't feeling well and had been acting completely normal so I have no idea what that was all about. I cleaned her up and she went right back to eating her waffles. So random...hopefully.

After dinner we loaded up in the car and picked up Chloe and Ella for Bible study. I brought them back to our house where Amanda had just arrived. Then I put Emily to bed and put on a Dora movie for Haley. Haley was glued to her Dora movie until we were all finished and then I put her to bed.

TODAY was a cold day, the high was only 64! It started out with a morning of play with Evelyn and Lucy. Amanda had a doctor's appointment and had asked if I could watch the girls. Haley was so excited to play with them and I was happy to have them keep her busy. It gave me plenty of time to keep myself updated on the Boston marathon bomber search. Emily took a nice morning nap from which we eventually had to wake her up because I wanted her to take an afternoon nap at the same time as Haley. Lucy and Evelyn left around 11:45 and Haley, Emily and I headed out to Chick-fil-a for lunch.

A girlfriend had texted a bunch of people to tell us she was going to be there so we decided to join them. Emily ate a bunch of french fries and pieces of bread from my sandwich. Haley ate a couple of french fries and then inhaled an entire ice cream cone. We ended up staying just under two hours. Haley had a great time on the playground and used the potty twice while we were there, the second time it was boo.

I put the girls down for naps as soon as we got home. Haley slept two hours and Emily slept three. Then we went to visit our elderly neighbor Francis. She has not been feeling well so we took her a Get Well card with a picture of the girls in it. Her daughter Dorothy opened the door and said that Nana was sleeping so we gave her the card and then headed home.

The Masons had invited us for dinner at six and we still had about an hour so we used the time to Skype with David. He had not been feeling well all day but was starting to come around and talked to us for a while. I wonder if he had whatever Haley had. Both of the girls were pretty excited to see him. Haley brought him a bunch of food from her kitchen and kissed the screen when it was time to say goodbye.

The Masons made breakfast for dinner which turned out to be a huge success for Haley because she eats pancakes and bacon and they were both on the menu. I fed Emily before we left but she still sat in their high chair and ate a bunch of pieces of pancake during dinner. I told Haley on the way over that she had to be nice to Caroline and give her lots of hugs and kisses. I said this because sometimes at church Haley gets all clingy and pushes the girls, including Caroline, away from her. She must have understood because Caroline opened the door for us and Haley immediately hugged her, haha. She let Caroline carry her around all evening and was very sweet to her so I was pretty relieved. Emily loves Dr. Mason, kind of random I think, haha. We stayed after dinner and I talked with the Masons until nine and then headed home. Both girls went to bed as soon as we got home.

Haleyism:

Haley is sooo cranky when she wakes up from naps. Please let me know if you have a solution for this.

Emilyism:

Emily loves dogs. She loved the Mason's dog and would start kicking her feet and waving her arms everytime she saw it.
