Two Little Ones

Conspiracy Theory

Playgroup

This morning we went to a playgroup for MIM. It was for new members. The girls were excited of course. Olivia wanted to see Mary and her daughter Lauren. Izzie just wanted to follow her sister. We get there and of course we see Mary and Olivia runs and gives her a big hug. Mary tries to say hi to Izzie, but she backs off and wants me to pick her up. She does smile at her and hangs around her. She doesn't want her to pick her up quite yet. The girls go off and start playing with all the toys. The girls go into the little boy's room and play with his toys. They were playing very well together which doesn't happen at home a lot. Izzie can now voice her opinion when Olivia takes away a toy that she wanted. She does this by screaming at the top of her lungs. It usually works b/c Mommy say's Olivia give that toy back to your sister. I sometimes wonder if Izzie is smiling inside. We stayed there for about an hour an a half. I needed to get them home to eat lunch. Olvia had already taken food off the table to eat.   Overall the girls had a really good time and so did Mommy.

Grocery Store Adventure

Olivia got up this morning bright and early at 5:30. She finally started calling for me at 5:45 and I got up and brought her back to our room. Nicolas was already up and had taken a shower. She goes through this every couple of weeks were she gets up between 5:30 and 6. It is so frustrating. She won't go back to sleep. I can't leave her in her room since it is right by Isabel. She will start crying, talking and making noise. When she gets up she is always bright eyed and happy. Definetely a morning child. She always tells me she is ready to Play, Play, Play. Izzie got up around 6:30 and her and Livy started screaming and running around. Somebody please take me away...... Oh and the dogs are now barking b/c they want to be feed....I start getting everyone ready so we can go to the grocery store. We are finally out the door at 8AM and we haven't eaten breakfast b/c we have no groceries. Well I did give them a few raisins. Get to Randall's. We get a parking spot in the front. I run inside and grab a cart and bring it to the car. It is one of those that have a car in front. I thought well I will try it instead of having to strap one to me. I disinfect in the front of Randall's. Had a few people walk bye and give me looks. Well they probably haven't had sick kids or have kids. Get the girls in and they think it is great. Maybe this will help me get through a little faster. They honk their little horns. We get in and they are already starting to fight. Get the calm and Livy wants her drink and she is hungry. We finally get through the first two aisle and it only took us thirty minutes. Had to stop b/c one of the was grabbing at the aisle and trying to take items off as we go bye. Both girls were trying to grab stuff out of the cart while screaming. Ugg this is going to be fun. So now we are almost half way through the store and they are fighting again and Izzie has had enough. I put her in the front of the cart with me. She thinks that is great. Now Olivia wants up here too. I don't have room for her. I tell her she has to drive the car herself. I give her a notebook so she can draw. That should hold her for one aisle and she wants out. I get her out and tell her she has to hold on to the cart or hold my hand. Guess what she wants to hold my hand. She never wants to hold my hand unless I am trying to push a car cart full of groceries. These car carts are a pain in the butt to manviour. She does well for the rest of the aisle. She wants to explore the can food section. I get her to throw them in the cart. That should be good for the fruit that is now at the bottom. I think everyone in the store knows my girls name since I am having to say no Olivia and Izzie. The cart is so full I turn around and Izzie has a glass of Olivie's in her hand. She is so excited about it. Waving them around as I grab them out of her hand. Thank goodness that didn't break. We have to get out of here. We are at the end and I get up to the register and Olivia wants to help unload the cart. She is being a good little helper. It only takes us about 5 minutes to unload the cart. The lady at the counter ask us if we need help out. Yes, thank you we do. She sends out Mario and Olivia walks with the flowers that we got. She talks to Mario the whole way out. He doesn't speak English. We get outside and Mario starts unloading the cart and I get Olivia starped into her carseat. Ok one more to go. I am trying to get Izzie out of the cart and Mario has to get the water's out of the bottom as I have my kid's foot stuck on the cart cover. Always use those. Germs go away. I am telling Mario to wait I just want to get my kid out. Then I hear Hi Shauna and I look and it is one of my husband friend's wives. She has all her make-up on and two items in her cart. There is me with $280 worth of groceries and I haven't brushed my hair today. I say helllo and said we have been here for well over and hour. I think it has actually been an hour and a half. Olivia is yelling she is hungry. I smile and say gotta go. Get to the house and get the girls in and Olivia pottied. Get them something on the table to eat and I unload all the groceries. Can't wait until next week to go back.

Washed our Toys

The girls helped me today wash their climbers. They really wanted to be little helpers. Olivia really wanted to help me wash the climbers. I gave her a washcloth and she started and stop. Then we were off to play with a frog that she found. Izzie put the washcloth on the climber and moved it around some and then she was off to bigger and better things. The three dogs were out there as well. Samantha and Bailey wanted to be sprayed by the hose.

Playground is Done!!!

We have been working on building a little playground for the girls. I say little, but it is a little bigger than little. Actually it is 1000 sq. ft. Hopefully the girls will love it. If they don't they will never get another one. We have been working on it since the beginning of May.  We have to put some of the climber in there, but we will do that this week.
