Week of Ethan's Wedding

This has been a crazy busy week!

Monday- was the normal back doctor and hanging at home. Worked on taking off and adding a orange flower to the girls flower girl dresses for Saturday.

Tuesday- I had a cheer squad come over to pick out what they wanted for the ribbons this year and I was sooo sick. I went to bed when they left and I slept almost the whole day! I have awesome kids though. Zack made lunch for the other kids, and they actually tried to stay quite so I could rest and they played with Ellie!! I love my kids!!!!!

Wednesday- Ellie's First Birthday! I was feeling better so Mike took me to Bloomington so I could see my stores up there and change out their bows, went to Toys R Us and looked around at what the kids might be interested in for Christmas (yes, I said Christmas. With 5 kids we need to start early!!!). Came home and sang Happy birthday to Ellie and played with her!!Moriah's (and Isaiah's) teacher came over for a home visit.Thursday- day went as it normally does then we surprised the kids by taking them to the family swim night at the rec. they thought that was fun!! Friday- we went to the store and got food for the house and for the wedding. then later on we had the rehearsal and the dinner.Saturday- the big day for Ethan and Nicole! We went to Melanie's house and she did the girls hair for me, they looked soo pretty! We had to be at the church early for some pictures (which they didn't do any with the flower girls they were doing those after the wedding, I didn't know that!) and one hour before the wedding was to start Bella is sick and goes to the bathroom and throws up all over her dress and shoes! my thoughts are "great, I waited to get you dressed until we got here and now you puke all over yourself!!". got her cleaned up and then it happened again, and again!! Changed her out of her dress and laid her down and she went to sleep. Nicole felt so bad for her that she wanted to do the petals so bad!! We asked her right before she was to go down the isle and she decided yes she could do it, we got her dressed in the "just out of the dryer" dress and off she went with Moriah! We made it!! she was ready to lay back down so I took her back out and she did it again! (really, this has to happen to me, and on a big day like today! ok, I can handle this) I went to sit in the back so I could watch the rest of the wedding and here comes Moriah running towards me. Yes, she puked in the church before we could make it out!!! I took her to the bathroom and cleaned her up and sent her to lay down with Bella! Then I helped the ladies clean up the church floors. the wedding is over, I missed it. I missed the first kiss (they had never kissed til the wedding day!), I missed the whole "Mr. and Mrs. Ethan Hoinacki! With that being what I got out of Ethan and Nicole's wedding day here are some of the only pictures we have of the girls on the Wedding day! (I took these after I got them ready for the day!)Nothing great, but it is a picture!!Now is the time for the reception at the Chateau in Bloomington
My Nephew Ethan and his Bride Nicole!

EE dancing with Maxton!

after we left the reception (only Ellie, Zack, Isaiah and myself went from my family) Ellie and Isaiah started to get sick and throw up! (really, now i need to deal with 4 of the 5 kids sick!!) Got home and the girls were not looking good. I called the Dr. and they said take all the sick ones to the ER! Off I go with the 4 kids (left my sick hubby with Zack at home) got home at 4 in the morning!! Can we say tired mommy? yes, we can!!

Sunday- we stayed home from church and I have done 10 loads of laundry so far. The boys (Zack and Isaiah) went on the train to the Cubs game with grandma Prater. The house has been cleaned today, so tomorrow it will be a bow day!
