Sunday, 6 April

So tired but did sleep till about 7:30 though. Fed the dogs and cats and made some coffee. I miss not having Olivia to wake up. So I watched the movie "The Deer Hunter" - very good but disturbing movie. Kurt got up around 10:00 and quickly started in the kitchen. This weekend has made the difference in the kitchen. Painting won't start till next week but for the most part - it's functional and just about done. So I worked outside on cleaning up the yard, it was beautiful outside. I took the dogs for a walk. My mom brought Olivia home around noon so got to show her the kitchen. I went and got us all lunch so we ate and then my mom had to leave. Played with Olivia for a while, we went outside and she played on her scooter. She loves banging on stuff like bongos, so I got some spoons out and a tin can and she played the drums. I got the yard cleaned up, raked and cleaned up all the loose twigs. Around 7:00 pm, we drove to Michael and Dan's house and then all of us with Jake went for a walk to the Dairy Queen and got some ice cream. I got my favorite, cherry dipped soft serve ice cream. Olivia got her first taste of ice cream and loved it. We then walked back, on the way Olivia lost a shoe so we got back to the car and drove around looking for it - and we actually found it. :) I'm so happy because of all the shoes, these were the most expensive. Got home, put Olivia to bed and then got everything ready for Monday and Olivia's first day of her new day care. Got to bed around 9:30 or so. I was exhausted. Fell fast asleep.
