Boy have we had a week! Let me tell you, it was one that will go down in the books. Let's just mix my birthday with a couple of stomach viruses, and a husband who travels for work, and voila!!!!!!! You get chaos! We started the week off on a good note with a birthday brunch at Blue Ridge Grill. It was Diddy's treat and sure was good!
After that, things pretty much went downhill. Felix left for the week while Blair and I started our weekly routine. After a fun Tuesday night dinner with the girls, I found Blair at home in the crib covered in vomit. Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday dear Tara, Happy Birthday to me! Ugh, it was terrible. Thanks to my wonderful neighbor and my Dad, reinforcements showed up and we were able to get the job done. Those who know me know that I don't handle those type icky situations too well. I did rise to the occasion, and I think Blair knew it. She wanted her Mommy and that was ok with me!
So, the virus left Blair and the next stop was MOMMY! YAY! It hit me on Friday and I was so sad because we had a weekend full of Spooktacular events lined up! Friday night Blair had to miss her Halloween party at school , and then I had to miss my first 5k ever on Saturday morning. It was a bummer. We were able to go out and get some Christmas shopping done later in the day just in time for the sickness to hit Daddy!
So, enough complaining. We did manage to get in a few Halloween festivities despite the bug. We made ourselves head out and participate in the neighborhood Halloween party. Blair knew I was weak and she cooperated just fine in her costume!
She was the perfect little angel. She kept patting her head and saying "my monkey." Yes baby, whatever you want! After a wonderful boston butt in the cul-de-sac, we headed in to watch our Auburn Tigers win ANOTHER one! We hung out and rested all day Sunday so we could get some trick or treating in that evening. Blair was excited to put her costume on and was ready to hit the streets. Luckily, we didn't have to go very far!
Blair loved trick or treating. She was a little skeptical of all the costumes at first. She warmed up well and hung in there. I think she learned to love Halloween as much as her Mommy does! Blair, I'm so sorry your parents were sick and I promise to make it up to you next year!
