In the meantime though, I think we have set a few records around here. For instance, we have washed Sarah's sheets not once, not twice, not three times, but four times in the last week. And as fate would have it, she sleeps on the top bunk. Those of you with kids in bunk beds know how fun it is to change sheets on the top bunk.
Anyway, she wet the bed two nights in a row (I think she was too tired to wake up). The next night I got smart and put her in a Pull Up. That was the night she gagged on her medicine at 2:00am and threw up in her bed. A couple days later, I put her down for a nap when a coughing fit started. It ended with her thowing up all over her bed, her dresser and the floor. Now that's talent!
The up-side is that Sarah is not usually the snuggly one of the bunch, but when she is sick, she loves to snuggle. I have been getting lots of lovin' from her the past few days. Thanks to a good friend who loaned us some movies from her collection, I think we set a movie marathon record too. It was nice to have some new to us movies to enjoy in our pjs.
Enough was enough though. Our brains were starting to liquefy. So, today, I got out the sewing machine. This is such a rare occurance in our house. I really don't enjoy sewing, but I had these cute, super easy (for most people) to make dolls that a lady from Bible Study gave me before she moved. I thought the girls would get a kick out of seeing the sewing machine in action and stuffing their own dolls...way cheaper and a lot more work for Mom than Build-a-Bear. I only had the patience and time to make one small one for Hannah and one big Strawberry Shortcake for Sarah.
I think Strawberry Shortcake was a hit. Sarah hasn't put her down all day. Get well sweet Sarah!
