A Day at the Fair

It has been super stormy the past few nights...last night was brutal.  Drove through 2 storms...one on the way to a consignment sale and one on the way home.  The lightning was incredible!

Today after I ran and Brendon biked we took Olivia to the Gwinnett County Fair.  It was not crowded at all but it was SUPER hot! We walked around and found 2 rides that Olivia wanted to ride.  The carousel and she kept saying she wanted to ride a motorcycle ride...well she changed  her mind.  We did the carousel, went and saw some animals- goats and cows, and then she decided to go on an alligator boat ride.  She had fun! Then we got a lemonade and came home!

Olivia rested and after a very delayed UGA game, we tried to relax and watch the game. 

But a good Saturday!

When it is not just a receipt

Took another load of stuff to a consignment sale on Sunday...this time there was much less....hoping to come home with even less in 2 weeks!

I found a couple books that we don't need.  I took a few to the sale but Brendon took 2 to work for someone.  I guess I thought I cleaned them out already of book marks and but I guess I missed one.

Brendon found a receipt I guess we used as a book mark in the one book.  It was the receipt from when we went out to lunch after our doctor told us that we were most definitely having a baby THIS weekend and it was date 3/18...3 days before Olivia was born.

I still remember that lunch...being paralyzed with fear and telling myself that I am NOT ready for this baby to come because she is too early! I remember being anxious about how it all would happen and could I really do the whole labor and delivery deal?!?!?! But it was such a good lunch and a last lunch just the two of us.  I guess it tugged on my heart a little when he said he found this and I just had to HAVE to keep it.

Little did we know how it all would happen but when it did we were so blessed and all those fears and worries from that lunch disappeared.

Time Out Mommy!

Olivia was in a mood tonight...it all started with taking off her shoes...she refused to do it...and I refused to do it.  Oh there was screaming, crying, and some yelling about that.

At dinner time I asked her to give Jake a biscuit.  Usually there is no problem with her getting the step stool and getting him one.  Well tonight she wouldn't get the step stool and wanted me to do it...no help from me since I was trying to cook dinner... same process above...then add Mommy you need to go to time out for 4 minutes.  Um...ok...I am not the one doing anything wrong but ok! I just kept on cooking!

The icing on the cake bed time...when I closed the door her final words..., "Now mommy...you go to time out and then go to bed!"  And that sums up my evening! Here is my ticket to time out...and I am finally going to bed!

Tiny Dancer

Dance class is a busy place...I never usually get any ballet photos because there are too many people in the waiting room.  BUT I then have some time to grade papers. I tried getting some tap videos...the glare is horrible...but so cute!  They have been doing some more difficult steps...we may need some practice at home!

1st Sunday football 2014

Olivia didn't nap so she ended up watching a majority of the Bills game today.  At the end her and Brendon did their own dance to the shout song! Please excuse the mess on the table...that is the usual mess....
