The first day (Tuesday) was pretty uneventful. The kids came home from school, we made pasta for dinner, I played some Super Mario Sunshine for Julian. Carrie went and taught class in the evening, and then Sophia threw up in the toiled, which turned out to be clogged and so overflowed all over the bathroom floor with vomitwater.
The next day (Wednesday) it was Trevor's turn. But first I came home in the morning while Carrie stayed with Sophia, who by this point was basically okay. I went back around 11:30 and after eating lunch we all piled in the car to drive up to Seattle and go to GameWorks. Well, on the way Trevor started feeling sick, so Carrie pulled over into the Costco parking lot so he could throw up. Julian & I went and bought him a root beer inside the Costco (I snuck in with Carrie's card—shhh). After that he was feeling much better, so he decided to continue on to Seattle.
We had to pull over once on the freeway.
But he wanted to continue nonetheless. So we went to GameWorks and played for about an hour while Carrie went shopping in downtown Seattle. They had Namco Classic Collection Volume 2, which contains a rather rare updated version of Pac Man called Pac Man Arrangement. Pac Man Arrangement has tonnes of mazes, is two-player- simultaneous-action ready, and has gobs of powerups and at least one new type of enemy. It is also insane amounts of fun.
Julian & I played quite a bit of this, but then Trevor started feeling not-well again. When Carrie came back we all packed up and went back home.
That evening after everyone had gone to bed (including Carrie) I played a good amount of World of Warcraft. I find it a surprisingly enjoyable game, although the getting-from- place-to-place part of it is rather bo-ring. There's not automatic navigation, either; all they had to do was make it so that you could click on the map and your character would head automatically to that spot. Instead you can only click on the ground you can actually see on screen, which makes it tedious if you want to walk a couple of game miles to a neighboring town or something.
Anyway. Yesterday (Thursday) Carrie went to work while I stayed with Trevor. She came back around noon-ish, and shortly thereafter Missa came and took over kid-watching duties from us, so we went home.
