Out of the Woods

Well, we've made it through the worst!  Robbie is pretty much back to the land of the living and eating solid food again, ha!  Although he is sore from the traumatic night of puking--like he pulled a muscle or something.  (Sorry if TMI)  As I was typing this--my mom called to say that she has been up since 4 this morning sick with the same stomach bug.  Oh nooooo!  Another victim to add besides me, Mav, Robbie, my sister, and a few other friends I saw on FB with the same story.  Plus, while we were driving to the mall this morning we saw a lady pulled off the highway getting sick. (to which Robbie replied "I feel ya lady")  It's like living in one of those mass virus pandemic movies.  Eeek!

I spent all last night and today scrubbing everything down with Lysol and throwing anything that could fit into the washing machine.  I even opened some windows even though it was like 30 degrees.  There is just something necessary about airing out the house after being sick.  I know it's only February, but let's hope this is it for the rest of the year!

Oh yeah, here are the two photos I took on our date to the Fox.  I snapped this on our way in, we were in a hurry since it was about 10 minutes to show time.

This was the curtain before the show began.  Pretty great seats!  We lucked out that the two seats next to us didn't fill.  At intermission we scooted over for some wiggle room, especially since our tummies were getting worse by the hour.  I had grand ideas to take pictures of us and Jon & Jo (who scored some great seats, too!) all dressed up.  But by the end of the show we were more focused on getting home.  Besides being a fantastic performance, we happened to walk out of the side theatre door just as the cast was leaving--just a few feet from us.  Johanna congratulated "Maria", how fun! :)

Side note--I wonder where the cast was going?  They were leaving relatively quickly after the show...maybe to go eat?  There was another performance that night so maybe they only had a couple hours to spare.  Which makes me think about what life on a Broadway tour might be like...do they like hanging out with their castmates off set?  Really, do they have a choice?  How many cities have they been to?  How much do they get paid?  Must be a great life for the young and single, ha!
 

 
As expected, Mav did SUPER great staying the night with Nana and Papa last night.  I actually had to go over once (benefit of living so close!) to help Nana get Mav into the bath.  She said she wouldn't have made a fuss about getting him in the tub except he just had a huge diaper blowout (thank you remnants of stomach bug) and he really needed one after that. 

They made jello jigglers and camped out in the living room last night.  This morning they went to the airport where they've discovered a secret spot where you can actually watch airplanes land & take-off without a boarding pass. (I've been sworn to secrecy to its location...don't need the officials finding out!)

The funny thing was that they kept calling us to ask if they could keep him a little longer, ha!  After the airport they also went to the playground.  Which was a good thing because we were enjoying our trip to the mall we haven't visited in a while. :)  Well, Robbie sipped some soup at Bread Co while I went clothes shopping.

Mav actually threw a fit when it was time to go home with us.  You know, the limp noodle trick when you try to pick them up?  All was better once we got him strapped in his carseat and Nana and Papa gave him a fistbump.  Mav always needs a fistbump.

This is what he did almost as soon as we got home.  Sigh.  At least he's cute.
