An odd birthday phenomenon


Hello, people. Mixing bowls are for mixing birthday cakes in, not for catching birthday cake vomit in. But, apparently, my former mixing bowl is now the new vomit-catching bowl. Good thing I bought new mixing bowls at Bed, Bath & Beyond a couple of weeks ago.


Alexis turned 6 yesterday. Last night she woke up vomiting.
I'm really, really glad there are no more birthdays coming up in our immediate family.

That is so funny! In a not so fun way. And where in the world did you find that pic of a woman holding child puking in bowl. Did you google that in google images??

B: That's a blog entry unto itself. I googled "birthday cake vomit," "birthday cake stomach flu," and finaly, "vomit". Some of the entries were kind of gross. :-)

i'd be glad, too, that there were no more birthdays for another year! except your, of course, which is the most important one!

OH no. That's not fun. But kinda weird/funny that it happened around their birthdays.

Oh, Margarita! It's muy linda to hear from you! They're getting better, but now I think I'm getting it. Grr. The other funny coincidence is that Theresa visited from North Carolina on Alexis's birthday. Maybe there's something in that Southern air that makes us Oregon ducks sick! :-)
