today is a perfect example of the title.
this blog is also a testament to the idea that i really should pay more attention to that still small voice in my head.
today we were getting ready for church.
not just any day at church.
the 50th anniversary of our building being built.
people where here visiting from all over the state. it was a very big deal that everyone had been planning for a long time and i was very excited to get to see some people that i dont often get to see.
we sat right in the middle of the chapel. not to far up front and not clear in the back.
i guess i should start this story a little earlier for it to make sense.
today we were getting ready for church and i said to garran. maybe i should stay home with kael.
garran looked confused because there was really no reason to do so. he was not acting sick, no fever, nothing out of the ordinary. so we continued to get ready and head out the door. when we got to church and got everyone settled, kael asked if he could have a drink of water. again i heard this little voice in my head say "just tell him to wait, not right now". however there was no logical reason that i should not give it to him, he was just sitting there listening in church.
about ten minutes after we gave him a drink of water kael asked to sit in garrans lap. we said sure and all moved accordingly to let kael get to garrans lap. all of a sudden i heard kael cough and i just knew. i knew what that little voice had been warning me of.
KAEL STARTED THROWING UP AND IT JUST WOULDNT STOP!
i gave garran brieas blanket and told him basically to run. so he got up darting for the back of the church passing horrified faces as he ran by. i did not get to see them for myself, but garran said that they were a mix between terrified and amused! kael threw up all the way to the bathroom and all i could do was laugh the whole way home!

LOL It is such a cute story that you will tell him when he gets older. I have a story like that myself but all my dad had was his hand. :)
oh my goodness. poor garran!
OH MY!! You definitely get the award for that one!! Poor Garran! Hope everyone is better!
Oh my gracious, definitely one of those moments that are horrific while you live it....but will be a great laugh for many years to come.
One of the main reasons we almost quit going to church when Katie was little was because she would fidget terribly the whole time UNTIL the hymns. I would sing against her cheek and she would not move. There were never enough hymns during the service, but your story about Kael made me remember that. I'm so glad you keep this blog - the kids will never believe these stories when they read them later! Love - Auntie M
Maybe I wasn't in the chapel then (+ we were sitting more in the back). But I didn't even notice. I guess Garran is pretty quick.
I didn't even notice! We were just into the gym and moved to the front after the sacrament. Yeah, we don't sit anywhere but the front so the kids don't get distracted by everyone in front of them. A tip I picked up from a good friend of mine who has 11 kids. Well, nice cover and I'm glad you could laugh. At least he didn't trip while the sacrament was being passed and yell, "Oh $#*t" like my sis at his age! ;)
Haha! I laugh because the same thing happened to me with Whitney right in the middle of sacrament meeting a few weeks before Brody was born. I had to run out of the chapel with my 2 year old puking down my shirt, while trying to balance her on my giant belly. It is pretty amusing now I think about it. It's wonderful that you can laugh at these stressful situations!!
