Time to detox

It's really unfortunate that I don't have Smell-a-vision because it would make my tale so much more powerful if you could smell the aromas drifting through my house right now. After the junkfood-fest that was Toby's birthday yesterday we had vomiting through the night and some rather shocking diarrhea this morning. All from Toby, unless J's been sneaking off to be sick somewhere. To be honest, J could've been doing poos behind the sofa and I wouldn't notice. Toby's own little odours have taken over the house.

Aside from the sickness, we had a great day yesterday. The weather wasn't perfect but it didn't rain and we managed to have most of the party in the garden. I think the kids had a good time and everyone gorged on sandwiches, crisps, Smarties, Iced Gems, cake, ice cream and jello with cream. It's no wonder Tobes was so sick last night. And let me share a really special detail with you - his vomit was pink. Not from blood or anything scary like that but I would guess the main contributor was the red icing he ate off of the birthday cake and the half ton of jello he consumed.

I hope none of the other children were ill last night. Poor Tobes was so tired. The last thing he wanted was to be put in a bath at 11.30 to wash vomit out of his hair. The guilt was overwhelming. I think next year I'll monitor his junkfood intake a little more closely. Poor little guy just can't take it.

He's fine this morning. He's trying to get me to go play Candyland now. He got some fantastic presents and has already made vegetable soup this morning with his pretend vegetables, had me read his Spiderman story that has his name in it and rode his scooter all over the living room.

So, off to play Candyland and work on the mountain of smelly laundry piled up in the kitchen. Oh, and must buy another waterproof sheet today. It seems that two is just not enough sometimes.
