Soccer practice, Lunchtime Mistakes, and party time! 10/22/2009

Yesterday didn't look cold, but it was! When we were at Bailia's soccer practice Koda and Huddy started to play on the playground. Then the wind picked up. YUCK! I hate the wind! Alright it was just a strong breeze, not quite wind, but it was a COLD breeze! Luckily I had a blanket that I wrapped myself in to watch the boys. Then they got cold. So since I have the title of Mom obviously I had to give up my warmth to let these two cuties snuggle! Koda had also brought his beloved Christmas catalog, it kept the boys busy for a good thirty minutes! They sat there in the warmth of the blanket, talking about which toys they wanted to ask Santa for! So cute!


Jen called to invite us to go to lunch with her today. We said you bet! Which we will call, mistake number one.
I am SURE that will be our last invitation for awhile!
The meal started off just fine, my tomato bisque was delicious! Koda ordered a LARGE hot cocoa, and the tomato soup.
He GULPED the hot cocoa down in a hurry, mistake number two.
Then the soup came, he didn't like it much. I told him he had to eat at least half, mistake number three .
I gave him a straw started drinking, he had a hard time with it but I made him keep drinking. Mistake number four.
Then he looked at me with "the face", you know the one every mother dreads when they are eating lunch in a VERY crowded place!
I said, SWALLOW IT! Mistake number five.
His eyes got bigger and he gagged.
SWALLOW IT NOW, I whispered through clenched teeth!
Then it came. I am sure I have never moved so fast in all of my life! I bet my face was BEET red! I grabbed the napkin, shoved it to his face, and walked with him pressed against my hip, ALL the way through the restaurant to get to the bathroom! Mistake number six-he had throw up smeared all the way to the back of his head, which got all over my jeans as I pressed his face against me!
My sister had a good laugh and said that if you didn't see the whole thing, you didn't know what had happened, and she didn't think anyone had seen. Whew!
Then the OWNER came over.
Yes, the owner saw it. Can someone just shoot me, NOW?
He said is everything OK?
As soon as we get out of here it will be! We paid as fast as we could, then it hit me. How could I let this memorable day pass by without a picture!
You have got to be kidding me, Jen said.
I set the timer and said nope, get in the picture and smile. And we did. Koda felt dumb, obviously, but hey, this is a day I will NEVER let him forget!! Moms, aren't we the BEST!?!
To the diners at the Electric Cafe, I am SO sorry if you witnessed any of this. To the owner of the Electric Cafe, I am so, SO, sorry you had to watch the above mentioned mortifying events!


Koda got the invitation to Ella's birthday at the start of the week. He has been talking non-stop about the party since! He couldn't wait to go, and it was a COSTUME party to top it off! He had SO much fun today, playing games, eating cake and ice cream, and having fun with friends!
