Happy Day...


Olive says hey!

It is a happy one year blogiversary to us!

Olive has been busy playing with her "poopoo"  
not sure why she calls it that.  When I say tutu, 
she knows to call it a "tutu."  She probably does because
I laugh when she says it... :)



She also loves to "dansh" :)  Especially when I dance to the Wii

I am also loving how I find random "scenes" of little people.


Apparently mom is eating a feast with Robin Hood in their royal chairs :)

I don't have anything exciting to say or do on my blogiversary...
I am however going to post more than once a week!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Random thoughts...

I got in another slump....Its been a week since I posted!!

It is again snowy and cold, 
after the thaw from last week.
Olivia and I got a little too excited..maybe.

So I decided to follow suit with a few other blogs I read
and make a random post!

Here I go!

Olivia is currently napping, she hardly ever naps anymore!  I think after a few
late nights and early mornings it caught up to here...hence why I am posting in the daytime :)

It is STILL snowing...I know they said 10-16 inches and they didn't lie.

The Mr. is home from work today...he is working on"saving the world" 
a.k.a. playing Call of Duty.  He rarely gets to play with work and spending
time with us so he deserves it.

I really want stuffed crust pizza from Pizza Hut :)

The Mr. and I paid off my car loan early!!  Now if only the 
student loans would be as easy :\

I read a book in an entire day...I know that is an accomplishment 
with a 2 year old.  And no I didn't ignore her all day she was entertained 
with grandma, grandpa and great-grandpa.  Plus the book was a super easy read.

Whenever is snows I always say (in my mind) I want to move south...but really
I hate HOT weather just as much.  As soon as I find that place where it is 75 and sunny
with the occasional rain shower I am there!

I admit to watching to much TV with Olivia lately...but there are only so many
games, coloring books,  and playdough playing before someone gets bored!!
(of course it is kid friendly tv, no late night stuff fro this little girl!)

As I type Olivia is still sleeping....makes me wonder what time 
she is going to go to bed tonight!

I am SUPER excited for one of my besties to be flying in this week.

Just so happens said bestie is due in April and even though she lives 
a long ways away and I am a bit sad about that, I couldn't be more excited for her!

and ALSO there is a shower being thrown...I love showers for good friends.
Food, good company, silly games, fun prizes...looking forward :)

Wow, I got a lot more down that I thought!

Hope everyone has a good week!

Boredom...

I have never really been one to complain about the snow...
or the cold for that matter.

That was before I had a 2 year old!
I want Olive to be able to run outside...without
taking 10 minutes to get dressed and spending another
whole 10 minutes playing in the freezing weather.
(and no we don't go out if its in the negatives, we 
are not crazy :)

Someone is bouncing off the walls!  
I wish I had the energy and money for that matter
to go to those fancy indoor play places.
I should also add I wish they aren't filled with
other peoples goobies :)

Spring can not come soon enough!!!!!

Over the River and Through the Woods...

To the Englar's house we go...

Olive and I took a road trip to visit our friends...Mary and Hailey!
It was a looooonng drive...
Five hours later we made it!

Olive had a good time playing with Hailey and getting out of our
house for a change of scenery!

We made cupcakes, they played with Dora,
ate some apples and Mary and I made a 
great hand scrub! (from here)










If you want the full run down on what we did check out Mary's blog...
she gets more in detail than I do :)
