Well, my day of fun with the girls hasn't been the most fun. 
The day started out great!  Haley and I even got to work in the craft room this morning while the other two were still sleeping.  I did a little bit of scrapbooking and Haley created a beautiful Spring picture using Popsicle sticks, stencils and stickers. 
After everyone was up we worked on our cookie cut-outs from yesterday.  Did some coloring.  Then after lunch it was off to the Life Science Museum on  BYU campus...it's free and the kids love it. 
I noticed Piper wasn't really in the mood to nurse before we left.  I thought, no matter, she did just have a big lunch of mac and cheese.  Whatever. 
We were at the museum having a good time when a lady stopped me and said, "Excuse me, your baby is throwing up."  WHAT?!!!  I look down and there is poor little Piper covered in vomit and it's all over the stroller tray as well.  Luckily, none of it got on the floor.  I grabbed the girls and we zip into the restroom to clean her up.  We unfortunately had to cut our time there short and take her home.  Haley flipped out!! 
So I had to walk back through the museum with Haley crying, "I don't want to go!!!" and a little baby who smelled like vomit. 
I gave Piper a bath and layed her down for a nap.  Haley has since calmed down (Morgan was a trooper the whole time...not one fuss came out of her...thank you Morgan). 
I haven't fed Piper since 9:30 this morning...it is now 4:30.  That's not good...for me...or her.  She is not at all interested in eating (I don't blame her there).  So my only other option is to pump.  I hate pumping!  I hand it to any woman who can do it.  It hurts and I can't get it to produce much of anything...I walk away feeling just as full as when I started!!  And I hate sitting there with a stupid contraption hooked to my breast while it makes weird sucking noises.  I gave it up when I had been sitting for a half hour and had only 2 ounces to show for it!  Maybe I'll hunt down my manual pump...the electric one just isn't working for me. 
I just hope my little Piper feels better soon.  And I hope, I hope this is a one child sickness...please.

Parker told me that he would like to get a stomach bug soon, so that he could lay around all day and watch movies. Apparently, he's a glass-half-full kind of guy. Hope no one else in your family comes down with anything.
