This morning started off with a bang. Literarlly. We were sitting on the couch watching our normal episode of Curious George first thing this morning when suddenly, Katie threw up everywhere. All over me, all over the couch, all over the floor. Who knew that much stuff could come out of such a small belly.
We get cleaned up and it was pretty obvious it might be a rough morning. So, I loaded the kids and dog up in the van to go for a ride. I find that a quick drive can help with mornings like that. By the time we got home, Katie was obviously very sleepy so I laid her down for a nap.
Micah and I went in the back yard to attempt to finish raking the leaves (I hope we don't have another tick episode today!). I got tired pretty quickly, so I sat down on the porch for a break. Micah proceeded to setup his "firetruck", aka the grill. He found a broken lattice from one of my plants which is now his "ladder" for the firetruck. He was quick to inform me that this was a ladder firetruck, not a pumper truck. He got a hat from his room to act as his fire helmet, got key chain to start the firetruck, and sat underneath the grill to drive it.
After 15 minutes of that, he was getting a little bored and asked if it would be okay if he put the leaves we raked in garbage bags. I couldn't help but chuckle to myself as I sat in my chair reading my email as he busily scooped leaves into bags. He scooped over 3 full bags for almost an hour before I told him to take a break. He didn't want to stop! I had to convince him to stop by offering him some food. His response? "Sure mom, firemen have to stay strong!"
