Casa Bonita....again!!

On Friday we went to Casa Bonita, again. That's right, we went to the pink restaurant with a waterfall inside, a fountain out front, cheese enchiladas made out of Velveeta and bathrooms that smell like the rest area's on the side of the interstate. Steve and Matthew loved it!!!

We went there to celebrate our friend, Sean's birthday. You are probably picturing Sean as a little boy, since Casa Bonita is a place that most children request on their birthday. You are wrong, Sean is the same age as Steve and I. Steve and Sean are very good friends, they have a ton in common, one of them being they both love Casa Bonita.

Many of our friends went, even Peter, who is still on crutches.

Alaina even sang her daddy, Sean, Happy Birthday.

Alaina and Matthew stuck together like they usually do and bugged Peter and Alissa, who are total suckers and always play along with them and pay more attention to them than anyone else.

Matt and Alaina are entertained so easily.

Now, for the bad part. Half way through our Casa Bonita adventure I fell ill. All of a sudden I felt like a Greyhound bus hit me and I could barely function. After a long drive home with me holding my head out the window, I got home and proceeded to "get sick" about 5 times that night. The first time was the loveliest because I got to see this lovely food all over again.

And, yes, you are welcome for giving you that picture in your head. I know you wanted to know all the details.

After I had a rough night, Steve then "got sick" Saturday morning and proceeded to have a raging fever all day Saturday. So, Steve and I got to take care of Matthew on Saturday from our couch. We tried putting in Finding Nemo and the movie Cars to entertain him while we tried to keep from falling in the coma, we so desperately wanted to fall in to. All in all Matty did very well and Steve and I managed to get well rather quickly and some how we managed to keep from getting Matthew sick which was our main concern.

This weekend I was reminded of something that I have been told numerous times from other parents and that is that being sick while trying to take care of your kids is like a blind person trying to thread a needle. It is extremely hard and not very fun. This week, I am getting my flu shot and increasing my Vitamin C dose, let's pray for a healthy rest of the winter!! :)
