It had to be blueberries

Lala was sick for the first time last night. I won't go into details, but I now need to figure out how to get blueberries out of the carpet.

In true form, she's back to her usual bouncy, energetic self. Running around, trying to wake up her sister, demanding "Snowman"...aka Frozen. I think she had too much sugar yesterday.

Oh yesterday....

Our day started at 5:30am, getting everyone up and ready to go downtown. Auntie EhEh was diagnosed with Breast Cancer last year and we were all doing a walk to celebrate the end of her cancer journey! She looked fantastic!

Lala, Cocoba and a friend all had matching outfits I made. Little pink shirts that said "My Mommy/Auntie is a super hero!" and capes on the back with "SUPER EHEH/MOMMY"....and pink tutus. Nothing is complete with out a tutu-dress (as Lala calls them). It was so fun to see all the girls running around with their capes flapping in the early morning! Not to be left out, Gogo had a tutu too...but she was snugged up in the Ergo the whole race. It was only at the end I realized her diaper had failed spectacularly and she and I were both covered in pee. Awesome. Lala ate a donut during the race, got to say hi to Darth Vader (her current favorite person) who blew her kisses and played peekaboo....

Thankfully, after the eventful morning, she crashed hard for a nap. Then we were ready to go again at 2:30 for cousin Bug's 4th birthday! There, after playing with water balloons, chasing the older kids around and eating her weight in pirates booty and chocolate coins...she devoured a chocolate chocolate cupcake. Gogo just hung out in her amazing parrot costume and wooed everyone.

After dinner, Lala had a complete and spectacular meltdown. Screaming like I've never heard and knocking her gate down over and over. She finally passed out. Too much stimulation and way too much junk food that she normally doesn't get....it happens.

I felt so horrible when I got her up this morning and noticed that she had been so sick. She didn't yell or cry to wake me or my husband up! Thankfully she's not running a fever. A lazy day at home is in order for today.
