This is definitely a TGIF moment! The weekend comes, and although still busy, you get some time to breathe!! Today was a pretty busy day at work...it was one of those days where every e-mail you received, every phone call that came in and everything you touched in general had some kind of problem. I don't like problem solving days! After work, we headed home to get ready for dinner! My dad is lonely these days because my step-mom is out of town for a few weeks (apparently retirement agrees with her!), so he offered to come out and take us to dinner. So, we all went to Buffalo Wild Wings (YUM) and then back to the house to hang out for a while. Now, I mentioned before, my dad is a big guy and kids are usually scared to death of him...but nope, not Olivia. She was literally his shadow the whole time he was over. She kept asking him to hold her, following him around and sharing all her stuff with him. I think he was pretty shocked...he's definitely not used to that reaction from kids. And here's the best part...Olivia's room has always been the coldest room in the house...for the life of us we couldn't figure out why...we tried everything. Well, we mentioned it to my dad, and he went in there, took the vent off, reached in and discovered a secret lever to turn the vent on and off. You could instantly feel the difference...we wanted to cry we were so excited (I'm sure Olivia is more excited!). So yes, dad's really do know everything!
Here is a picture from dinner!! As soon as we walked in the door she spotted the balloons, and HAD to have one, which she abruptly lost in the ceiling. They gave her another one, which we tied very tight. Every time she saw the staff give another kid a balloon, she would look at us with a "what the hell" look on her face, like they were stealing it from her. Then if a kid walked by with one, she'd reach out like they were bringing it to her...ummmm, maybe sharing is going to be more of a problem than I thought....
Until tomorrow!!!
