Halloween

The first part of Halloween weekend was great and the second part was terrible due to poor Maddox's tummy bug. On Saturday we got up early and I ran the Tulsa Run. My hubby and a cute little zebra cheered for me around mile 2 1/2 and were also at the finish line. Jeff said he was very popular during the race. Shocking, right?

Saturday afternoon we met up with the girls and our troop of baby boys on Brookside for the parade. Ummm I don't think we'll be doing that one again. It was great to get a picture of all the boys together but I would have prefered just meeting at a park or something because it was a freaking zoo down there and the parade was not impressive (no pomping people!!!). I think the parade may have been my idea. Ooopps. This picture is real cute though right?!!!

Maddox was a pretty cute zebra!

After the parade we left and headed to Rogers, AR to hang out with Jeff's best friend Jayson and his wife Lisa. We got down there around 6pm, went out to dinner and headed back to the house. As I was getting ready to put Maddox to bed he started throwing up and I'm not gonna lie I freaked out. Dude, it was scary. He's never had a tummy bug before and this was like you know, grown up, real human vomit. You could tell he was so confused and scared. It's so sad because they have no idea what's going on. Poor kiddo. After I got him cleaned up he seemed fine and I wasn't sure if maybe it was something he ate so we decided to stay. Jeff went to Walmart to get some supplies (M did end up with some Razor back PJs so not a completely wasted trip). About an hour later I heard him coughing and ran in the room and he was getting sick again and so we decided to head home. We didn't have much of a choice since pretty much all his clothes and blankets, sheets etc were dirty. Poor Jayson and Lisa were great and I feel really bad for their laundry machine. They sent us home with some towels and we used them as we had to stop several times for him to get sick on the drive back. It was not a fun drive. We got home around 12:00am or so but didn't get to bed until around 1am because poor Maddox just kept getting sick. He was pretty pitiful yesterday and just laid around the house on one of our laps. I stayed home with him today and he was pretty tired and didn't have much of an appetite. I am planning on sending him to school tomorrow as long as he seems okay in the morning. Apparantly everyone in the world has this little tummy bug. He never ran a fever and as far as the vomiting at least it only lasted a short time. Sick kiddos are no fun. So now the major issue is what to do with all the Halloween candy. We turned off our lights and didn't do trick or treaters since M wasn't feeling well. I guess I'll just have to take one for the team.
