A Doozy of a Day

What a day!! Shelby had the day off of school for Veterans Day, but poor Derek had to work today & all weekend due to an Air Show on base and the need for medical personnel present during the show. The girls and I ran up to base with Brady this morning to visit with Derek for a few minutes and get Brady's 4 month shots. After getting shots, we were headed out to lunch when Shelby got carsick and threw up in the car....aaahhh! She's never been carsick before, so as soon as it happened all I could think was: "How am I going to survive the stomach bug with three kids on my own over a three day weekend?!" That just sounds like some sort of cruel punishment!! But thankfully, it was just a bout of carsickness. But let me tell you, it was NOT fun coming home with a fussy baby from shots + a kid covered in vomit + a carseat that needed deep-cleaning in the worst way. Thankfully, all three kids were troopers and made it much easier on me than it could have been! And I'm immensely thankful we're not dealing with a stomach bug...those are the worst!!

We got everything cleaned up, Brady napped great all afternoon, I got the girls out for a bike ride in delightful weather, and Derek managed to get home a teeny bit earlier than we anticipated....so we were able to enjoy pizza together for dinner! It was a nice way to end our crazy day!

This whole week has been kind of out of the ordinary...we had Brady's 4 month checkup on Monday & then Tuesday was Election Day. Shelby had off for Election Day, but Hadley still had preschool. It was a fun change of pace to have Hadley in school & Shelby home. We enjoyed making muffins together & then playing Guess Who & CandyLand while the muffins baked! And Shelby absolutely loved getting a chance to take Hadley to preschool and see her little sister do her thing. It was a fun day!!

Wednesday was our only "normal" day, and then Thursday was like our Friday. We met some friends at the playground after school on Thursday to celebrate Machaon's 3rd birthday!

And here was Brady before bedtime tonight....all smiles even after his shots!! He's the sweetest!!

Happy Veterans Day to my dad, my hubby, all of our dear friends we've met through our Air Force journey, and everyone else who has served our great country!!

Can you believe this next week is the last week before Thanksgiving?! What?!?! Craziness!! Have the best weekend, friends!!
