Got up with Olivia pretty early this morning, unfortunately for me - I was looking forward to getting some sleep. :) So decided to take her to Meijer's with me to go grocery shopping. I made a list of stuff to get that she would be able to eat. Luckily, Meijer's has a huge Glutten/Wheat free selections. I got Rice Milk, Glutten/Wheat free Cookies, Rice Chips, Rice Pasta, lots of vegetables and meat. It took us about an hour and 1/2 to shop, then came home and put everything away. I then fed Olivia breakfast - she actually liked the Rice Milk (It smelled bad). I then cooked up a bunch of Yams, Made a big batch of Rice and then baked up some chicken. My goal is to cook up a bunch of foods she can eat and have them ready for her for meals. I cooked for about 2 hours. Got lots of prepared meals for her. Kurt got up, and we all got cleaned up and then headed out to the Hot Diggidy Dog event in Royal Oak. It was a huge event - lots of kids there. We met up with Jill and her two kids and Emily and her two kids. There were huge Moon Walks all over, there were craft areas, face painting, food - they had Food Eating contests going on too. We couldn't stay too long because we had to go see Chelsea. She leaves on Tuesday for Las Vegas and we wanted her to see Olivia. We then headed to my parents house to drop off Olivia. We did that then headed back to the house. I immediately then went to Pappa Joe's to pick up the food for Dan's 40th birthday party. Then went to the store and got Balloons and ice. I then picked up the rest of the food we had at the house for the party and headed over to Dan/Mike's house to set up for the party. It took a couple of hours to get everything set up, I then went home and showered, got dressed and headed back over for the party. People starting showing up around 7:15 and by 7:30 about 20 people were there. Dan arrived back at the house a few minutes after that. It was a really fun surprised birthday party. More people showed up as the evening progressed. I ended up staying out late - to about 2:30.. I was exhausted and had to get home to sleep. It was a fun, busy day.
