It is amazing how they bounce back...

It is amazing how they bounce back, last night she didn't feel so hot and now she's doing flips onto the fold out couch... luckily between throwing up bouts - which have been days apart she's been okay so she's enjoyed the vacation:-) Eva has a few more spots but doesn't seem to have any of the more serious effects - but we are watching. Okay going to breakfast soon, get Grace some bacon and eggs:-)

The BRAT diet...

Grace threw up again, and then tonight she had totally liquid diarrhea. She's not had any peanut butter (there has been a recall for salmonella). Matt thinks it's the milk/milk products so we're not going to let her have any more milk items... bacon and eggs seem to do okay. We've been doing the BRAT diet - Banana Rice Applesauce Toast, that's supposed to be good for both ends – although she only eats the banana and toast:-) Maybe she’s not really a brat (ha ha ha).

Seriously???

Grace just threw up again - she had pizza like an hour ago, Matt thinks maybe it's their milk products? Who knows!

Snow vs. Sand...

Matt's mom wrote to say,

This morning we have 9 inches of snow and have a snow warning today until noon. It is still snowing heavy expected to stop around noon. Expect around 2 more inches. Chance of more snow Thursday and Friday. NO snow expected Sat. or Sunday. Chance of snow again Monday. All schools closed. IU is even closed until at least noon today. Of course I am not taking Kim in today.

I'm sure I don't have to say this but we are SO GLAD WE ARE HERE!!!

Could it be the milk???

Not sure if Grace was not over what she had or what… Matt thinks maybe it was the milk she drank? But this morning she drank her milk (skim) which I practically insisted on, she’s had almost nothing to eat the entire time we’ve been here. Well I then felt awful b/c she threw up! Grace wants to go back and do the Activities again, I feel so bad saying no, but I don’t want to get anyone else sick… we're letting her eat right now (she says she wants BACON) and then I guess we'll see what happens... I hope it was the milk and not the stomach virus. Grace has had so much fun playing all day that every night at dinner she crashes and sleeps through dinner:-) Eva has been awake for all but one dinner so far, but it's funny b/c she gets so MAD when Grace goes to sleep in HER stroller:-)

Matt had so much fun fishing - caught 13 fish, like 35 pounds of fish! We were going to have it cooked down here but now he's thinking about having it sent home and have a party or serve it at cards...

Activites...

Grace's friend Amy went home, but Grace wanted to go do the Activities again... so I went over w/ her to make sure she was okay... no one had signed up - but I asked Grace if she was sure she still wanted to stay... you know Grace she'd already made friends w/ the teacher (who was young and fun) but she said she wanted to stay. This is the first year she's been able to participate b/c you have to be 4 to do them.

I think another little girl joined late but they made a pinata, fed the fish, made bracelets and bubbles and then played games on the beach.
