Day 272 - Saturday
Saturday - What can I say about Saturday. Right we woke up pretty late and wandered over to the parentals room to see if they wanted to join us at IHOP for breakfast. We were starving. The little Diva woke up super snotty after a snotty and coughing night. Her nose was draining something pretty fierce and she just looked sick. Luckily though it seemed to be just a head cold cause she was still mostly her chipper self. After a yummy family breakfast with really depressing tea (they can't seen to make hot tea in this county!) we quickly went back to pack up and check out of the motel. We had decided that the lack of wifi was simply too much to deal with! So we switched to a Holiday Inn. We dropped off our stuff at the new hotel and set off for some shopping. I was really excited to go check out the jewelery at "Sam & Moon" - I found a few pieces and by this time sleep and snottiness had caught up with us. We went back to the hotel to rest briefly and then get ready for the Shadi.
It was another gorgeous evening of fun! The venue was stunning, the food amazing and the company too. The little Diva was a tad crabby and didn't really want anyone looking at her or trying to give her attention but that could be explained by her cold and lack of sleep and crabiness!
Day 273 - Sunday
At 2am my dear hubby took a trip to Walmart to buy a humidifier for the little Diva and some cold and flu meds for himself. He had started feeling awful and the little Diva was waking up with coughing fits every so often. We got better sleep after we set the humidifier up but as can be imagined we were plenty zombified when we woke up. The good news though was that the little Diva was feeling much better.
Dadoos, Mandada, Uncle I, Aunty N and cousin R all joined up for breakfast at IHop this morning. The little Diva threw quite the tantrum because she wanted to drink her milk out of a cup but we had to take it away because she was making a giant mess. I took a quick walk with a screaming kid through the restaurant and took her to wash her hands and then look out the front window for a bit before heading back to the table. I was struck once again by how nice people in Texas are. I had at least 3 people stop to ask what the matter was and if we needed anything. By the time we got back to the table she was more herself and ready to play with the extra crayons and colouring page a kind employee had offered to help cheer her up.
This afternoon we went shopping with Dadoos a little before heading back to relax before the Valima. It was GORGEOUS. The little Diva started the evening with some pretty spectacular tantrums which had more than one couple with kids walk by, smile kindly and say, "Oh we've been there" or, "Oh we know this one all too well". She eventually did cheer up though and we ended up staying till the very end. It was great spending time with family.
