Ruby's sad sick birthday

The day before her birthday she started feeling really sick so she sleep in Keaton's room (top bunks are not fun when you are sick) with the barf bowl and dogs. On her birthday she woke up with the birthday quilt... and a 103 fever. Not what you want for your birthday.  She told me how upset she was that she would not be able to go out to dinner for her birthday.

Normally when someone stays home from school they have to stay in bed all day. I couldn't do that to her on her birthday... so she hung out on the sofa watching Myth busters and eating popsicles. Haley was jealous and said that was her dream birthday but instead we dragged her all over Yellowstone.

Around 2:00 she let me know that she thought she was feeling good enough to go out for a birthday dinner and she wanted to go to Red Lobster. By the time Eric got home she seemed a lot better so we went to Red Lobster. The girls had a great time and Keeter didn't seem to bothered by all the attention he got from everyone in the restaurant.
