Saturday, 25 April

So today was pretty darn busy. Got up with the dogs, fed them, made some coffee - started to read this book my mom lent me. Within ten minutes of picking up the book, I hear Olivia crying. I was hoping that she would fall back to sleep but no such luck. Got her out of her crib, changed her, gave her some milk and fed her some cereal. She was content for a total of 6 minutes. After that, she wanted to play, me - still trying to drink my first cup of coffee just wanted a little quiet time. So got dressed, got her dressed and we headed out to the park. Swings, slide, monkey bars, jungle gym and then back to the house. We walked to the park - and ran back. Hoping that she would want to relax for a bit - but no, she still wanted to play. So outside, we played ball - I would throw the ball - she would retrieve and laugh. In between ball throwing, I would rake the back yard. It was going great until she got bored and wanted to help me rake. Of course, she wanted my rake - so I got another one from the garage. When she saw that rake, she wanted it. So the game was "Let's see how many times we can switch rakes". That lastest for about 6 minutes, the next game was "Let's break free from the back yard and scare daddy to death". She figured out how to push the gate doors open and run towards the street. So much fun. Yes, I'm being sarcastic. It's still only 9:46. So next game, chase Olivia around the yard until she gets tired. Around 10:00 am, she wanted a snack. So got her a banana and juice - Did I mention that she has learned how to take the lid off the sippy cup - so much fun throwing the juice all over the kitchen. Sticky juice on the floor, the refrigerator, the cabinets, Olivia's clothes. So another bath for Olivia. Got her cleaned and dressed - got Kurt up. Joel and Mike came over around 11:00 and we headed out for breakfast. We went to Nello's. Love that place. We ate, Olivia picked at her food and for the most part colored. We then had the bowling charity event. Met up with Kerrin at the bowling alley - best thing, as soon as we got there, Olivia fell asleep. So for the next 40 minutes, Kurt and I rotated holding her. Had to wake her up so we could bowl. Bad idea... She was actually really good for the first game but then she got cranky and threw a temper tantrum. So I ended up leaving early with her and put her down for a nap. Good thing because I got another migraine. Laid down for a bit. Kurt got home shortly after that. So we relaxed for an hour or so (it stormed during this time) so we couldn't do anything outside. I then got a movie and picked us up some dinner. We tried the KFC grilled Chicken - horrible. Not good at all and watched the movie - Bed Time Stories. It was cute. Kurt had to go to work so Olivia and I basically ran a bunch of errands and then came home. Put her to bed really late, hoping she would sleep in (It didn't work). I played on the computer and watch some TV.
