Though surely not news to most people, we can say first hand that the stomach flu and restaurants are not a fun combination. Well, actually, let's say that the stomach flu and any location (congested Southern California freeways, especially) do not make for a pretty picture.
While away from home a few weeks ago, we arrived at a restaurant tired, hot, and very hungry. Mere seconds after we were seated, Ryan threw up all over the table, restaurant highchair, and himself. Poor guy. And, we forgot the diaper bag in the hotel so we had no change of clothes, wipes or clean diapers. We definitely did not look like seasoned parents, and to think we've been at this parenting thing for almost 2 years!
This crazy night reminded me of something Chris' Aunt Tammie (experienced mother of five) told us - you know you're a parent when you point out restaurants not by their food, but by which of your children threw up in them. At least we're not the only ones.While we waited out this bug, we hid out at home enjoying the air conditioning and trying on funny head scarves. Anything becomes a toy after three days straight inside...

I've never been a parent, but still appreciated the "throw up" story.
And those two are really stylin' in their scarves!! Instead of rainy days we have "hot as Hades" days to do fun things indoors!
By the way, have the modeling agencies been calling yet?!!
oh dear. sorry to hear about the public display of barf!
I hope everyone is feeling better now. Even when they're sick, they're still a couple of cuties!
looking forward to seeing you all soon!
