big day out

So we woke very excited this morning

Mum, Sam, Miss 5, Miss 3 & me were going to see the DISNEY PRINCESSES ON ICE

Oh yeah – loves it!

It should be noted that Miss 5 wasn’t feeling great yesterday. She had a headache and even took a nap. Which hasn’t happened since she was 2

She still wasn’t 100% this morning & I even called the Doctor to ask what the symptoms are for swine flu because I’m a worry wart!

They said she just sounds like she has a bug and as long as she’s drinking lots of fluids and peeing and pooping normally – all is good

Too much information? But wait – there’s MORE!

I fed her a little fruit and a glass of OJ and she was good to go

So the 5 of us jumped in a  taxi for the long ride to Sydney Olympic Park – where the show was being held

Mum & Sam were giving me shit because my already large handbag was overflowing with ‘just in case’ stuff

Snacks – just in case the girls got hungry

Water – just in case they got thirsty etc

So, we’re about 40 minutes into the drive and Miss 5 says her tummy hurt

All the parents reading this already know where this is going don’t you?

Yep

She threw up

A lot

In the taxi

And it smelt like watermelon

So I get the towel and change of clothes out of my bag (I told you it was full)

Clean her off – tell the driver to keep going – we’ll drop the other 3 girls off, then turn around and go back to the apartment

Miss 5 is bawling at this point. 

She’s embarrassed she ‘spit up’ and now she’s not going to see the Princesses

I gotta tell you that the taxi driver was awesome. 

Apart from the fact he was Australian (an English speaking taxi driver – what are the odds?) he was a total champ about the whole thing

I guess he’s seen it all in his line of work

But I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have been that cool about the back of my taxi being covered in red fruit flavoured vomit, had I been driving

Yay for #4611! (I didn’t get his name)

So after a pretty uneventful drive back thank god I couldn’t wait to have a shower and change out of my spew soaked clothes

I didn’t bring a change of clothes for me – I’m not THAT organised

So now, we’re on the couch, watching Thumbelina

 I’m sure we’ll here all about the Disney Princesses when  Miss 3 gets back

Miss 5 is hoping Nanna brings her back a Princess Doll

I hope she brings me  a magic wand

 

*no photos – left the camera with Nanna (after I cleaned the chunks of watermelon off it)
