In my excitement about all my thrifty treasures, I forgot to mention that all three kids were sick during our trip to Edina. Ella started out with the sickness...a minor cold. Then Josie chimed in with congestion and runny nose that got worse as the days passed. The last night we were there, I only slept about three hours off and on because she couldn't breathe unless she was upright. That was tough. But Simon was the worst off. On the second day there, he got a fever. Then he woke up puking. By the end of the day, he was complaining of ear pain that was so severe, I could barely console him. We got him all dosed up with Motrin for the remainder of the trip, but after taking him to the clinic back in St. Louis when we rolled back into town, we found out he had a pretty nasty ear infection. He's on ten days of the pink stuff now.
Why do my kids seem to always get sick when we take trips? I hope they've gotten it out of the way before we leave for Atlanta!
