What a day.

Yesterday was Presidents' Day so Shane had the day off.  We decided to do something fun as a family.  We had heard about this place called Jump N Play where they have the blow up jump houses and other fun things for the girls to play on so we decided to take them there.  We walked in and it wasn't too crowded so we thought we had made a good choice.  The girls immediately wanted to start playing.  They ran over, got in the bounce house, and  were jumping, jumping, jumping! 

After a little while, everyone was hungry.  We ordered some food and while we were waiting the girls continued to play.  Shane sat at a table to wait for our food so that we didn't lose a spot to sit.  This is where our day got interesting. 
While Shane was sitting, this mother came over and asked if her 2 little boys could sit there while she ordered food.  Shane said, "No problem."  As soon as the mother walked away, the older of the 2 boys (about 5 years old) starting punching his younger brother (2).  The mother finally came over and picked up the younger boy and brought him over to the food counter with her.
About this time, I came to sit down.  As I sat down, I could immediately smell this little boy.  He smelled of feces and urine.  He was pounding on the table with his fists screaming.  Shane and I kept looking at eachother, trying not to stare at the boy, but of course, Addie and Annabelle were staring and pointing.  He then starting putting his hands in his sleeves and smacking people with it as they walked by.  The mother, from time to time, would come over and say "Stop it Michael."  Then he started spitting across the table at Addison.  That's when I couldn't take it anymore.  I looked at Shane and said "Let's move..NOW." 

We moved over to the table next to the little boy.  The boy continued with the behaviors, screaming, pounding, and spitting.  Annabelle kept pointing at him saying "Mom, that boy goes AHH!  That's not nice."  I just wanted to look at that mom and say "Figure it out lady." 

So after we switched tables, we finally got our food.  We are sitting there eating and Annabelle looks at me and says, "I don't feel good."  Right as I am asking her what hurts, she vomits all over the table and herself.  Great!  We got cleaned up and left.  I felt so bad for Annabelle.  When we got home she just layed on the couch and didn't move...a very rare occassion for a 2 year old.  I took her temperature and it was 101.  I turned on Dora, gave her some 7 up and she ended up falling asleep.

After all that comotion, we finally let Chloe out of her cage.  We noticed little spots of blood on the floor.  We thought maybe she had gotten into something so we checked her over looking for any scrapes or sores.  Nothing.  So of course, we put 2 and 2 together....she is in HEAT!  Awesome.  Shane goes to PetsMart to get her some "diapers."  He got the biggest size they make, brought them home, try to put them on, and of course, they are too small.  So, me, being my crafty self, get an old pillow case.  Shane cuts out a hole for the tail and we duck tape it around her.  She looked like a Jedi Knight, but hey, it worked! 

Oh What a Day!  I'm so glad it is overwith.  Hopefully today will be much better.  Happy Tuesday!
