better late than never, weekend wrap up

WOW did we have a busy weekend!

Saturday we attended Shara & Scott's wedding & reception. Livy was so excited to see Ms. Shara in her dress. She kept saying she looks like a princes....like "Cin-da-lella". It was too cute!  She didn't make it through the whole ceremony before crashing out on my shoulder though. Livy was excited to dance at the reception!  This was the first time Ryan and I have let her go on the floor with only some other kids. She had lots of fun dancing with some other girls that attend the day care I work at. But of course, all fun must come to and end. I noticed her looking around trying to find me to tell me she needed to go potty, and when she found me and started walking toward me, of course she had to get plowed over by some idiot child who thought the dance floor was a running track!  (SIDE NOTE: I HATE WHEN PARENTS DON"T WATCH/CONTROL THEIR CHILDREN AT WEDDING RECEPTIONS!! WATCH YOUR FREAKING KID YOU IDIOT!!)  This kid ran into her so hard that her face slammed into the ground. She had a red spot on her cheek where she smacked the floor with her face, and the next day she woke up with a bruise on her lip!    After she fell, and we made it to the potty, I decided that I would just go and dance with her. She really enjoyed dancing while I was there with her. She wore me out shaking her groove thang!  Just after 9:00pm, we decided to leave since she was getting really tired. She crashed as soon as we got home that night. 

Sunday, we got up early for church and after, we went out for a nice breakfast. I was dumbfounded when Liv asked me for pink meat for breakfast. I couldn't figure out what she was wanting until I read the menu and discovered she was wanting ham and eggs for breakfast!  LOL! sometimes she just cracks me up.  After church, and a full belly, Liv and I crashed for a nap.  Ryan woke us up around 1:00 to get ready to go to his parents house for the Evansville Parade. This was Livy's first parade where she could collect the candy herself. She really enjoyed getting all the candy...she just couldn't believe people just give away candy. I was a little irked when a lady handing out beads didn't just throw them on the ground like everyone else. She actually CHUCKED them at Olivia!  They hit her right in the face!  And I don't just mean like 2 necklaces, I mean like a whole wad of 5 of them!  Liv didn't cry or anything, but it still upset me as to how stupid this lady could be.   After the parade, we headed home and met Olivia's great, great aunt and uncle and cousin Jenny for dinner where Olivia stuffed her face with salad and pizza. When we got home, we all crashed out from the long weekend. 

Enjoy the rest of you week!!

Great day?...Not so much!

Thursday is my normal day off, but instead of staying home today, I decided that I would take Olivia shopping to Target and meet Ryan for lunch. We are going to a wedding this weekend, I needed to pick up a gift. Olivia has been really great about telling me when she needs to go potty, so much to the point that I rarely ask her if she needs to go anymore. As we were pulling into Target on 15, Livy tells me that she needs to potty. I told her that we would go as soon as we got into the store. When it is just me and, her, I prefer to use the family restroom because it is just easier. So today that is where we headed. We walked in to Target, and to our luck, the door was unlocked......

Now usually when a door is unlocked, that means that the bathroom is unoccupied. Well, this one was not....

Olivia and I walked in on a man POOPING!

He jumped (obviously not expecting anyone to come in), and said oh, sorry. All I could do was close the door and go straight to the women's bathroom. After Livy was done with her business, I just hugged her and said sorry you had to see that man. Of course, she didn't understand what I meant. 

Now I am left to wonder if the man did it on purpose or was it legitimately an accident?  When we were printing out a registry, I saw the man exit the bathroom, and walk out of the Target store. He hadn't purchased anything. The more and more I think about it, it really creeps me out!  I actually am starting to regret that I didn't report it to customer service so they could watch for him and make sure that he doesn't do it again. 

And to top the day off, Olivia peed in her pants in the Wendy's parking lot and I spent 30 min in the women's bathroom trying to dry her pants with the automatic hand dryer, because of course, I didn't bring a change of clothes today!

Hope everyone elses day was much better than mine!

Enjoy this BEAUTIFUL weather!!

Fun day with my baby girl

I am very happy that today, Olivia and I finally had a great day off together!  Thursday is my normal week day off and I love to spend it with my baby girl, but over the past few Thursdays, she has not been in a hang out with mommy mood. She has been waking up on the wrong side of the bed, and not napping during the day, then acting extremely crabby at night because she is overly tired.  It even started making me think that I should go back to working every day of the week since it seemed like she didn't want to hang out with mommy. But today was A LOT different. I asked her last night if she wanted to go to the park today or go swimming and she chose the park. This morning, when she woke up, the first thing she said was, "We're going to the park today mommy!" I was relieved that she woke up happy today. It definitely started our day out right!

After breakfast and showers, we packed up and headed to the park. It was hot today, but rather nice in the shade!  There was a breeze blowing and the entire playground was covered with shade so I didn't have to worry about her getting over heated. We were the only ones there, so Olivia had the freedom to play on any slide she wanted without being overrun with other children.   

All in all, it was an excellent day!  Here are a few pictures from the park:
