The Day Savannah and I Made Cookies

            

This day started out as a good day. I don't remember what happened in the morning, but after lunch, Emily went to Arabic class and Savannah and I made cookies. Savannah loves to cook and bake and just be in the kitchen helping in general. And she is quite the fun little helper. You do have to be prepared for messes, but the maker of those messes is so cute, the messes don't seem to matter as much.

The day progressed, although nothing really stands out until after Brian and I had put all three girls to bed. We were just settling down to relax when Emily came in to the room, all wide-eyed.

"I just think you want to know that Savannah is making sounds like she is throwing up in her bed."

Uh-huh, I think I want to know that.

Five minutes later, Emily threw-up.

Five minutes after that, Brian disappeared into the extra bathroom.

For the next 3 hours, I changed sheets (at least 6 times), gave multiple showers, rubbed backs and put Sophie back to bed twice.

About midnight, Brian and Savannah were in bed, sleeping, or at least trying to and I was finally starting to feel the sickness creep in.

Emily and I threw-up for the last time around 7:00 that morning.

And that concluded the most miserable night I've had during our 8 months in Egypt.

Who knew that a post that started with such cute pictures could end so nastily? Sorry about that.

Such is the way life goes.

But we do have some yummy cookies to eat, now that we are all feeling better. :)
