The girls were both up, bright and early. YAY. We decided that fast food breakfast was in order, so Christian started the day off by picking up some McDonald's. YUM. After breakfast, it was time to get to work.
Since Amelia has been so clingy and refusing to nap on her own, I decided to try out chores with her strapped to me to see if it would kill two birds with one stone. So, I put on the baby carrier, loaded her in and was on my way. I had to finish laundry...just had the kids' clothes left to do. Got that going. Jumped on the computer to balance the checkbooks and address Amelia's birth announcements (finally). Got that done. I also finally organized all of our pictures on the computer...that was quite a task!
While I was busy with all of that, Christian and Olivia started cleaning up the house. They picked up the living room and started vacuuming the upstairs and the stairs. Finally Olivia was down for a nap, so Christian took to his outdoor chores and mowed the lawn. Brrrrr. After nap time, he and Olivia continued cleaning up the outside while I cleaned the kitchen and did the dishes.
Finally, Christian started dinner....chicken and potatoes on the grill. YUM. While Amelia FINALLY napped on her own for a while, I played with Olivia outside until dinner was ready. We all ate, played a little, then it was time for baths and bed! Christian and I finally got a little alone time once the girls were down. He started a fire and we had some s'mores and chatted for a while. It's been a long time since we could do that!
So, it was a long, and very busy day, but it felt so good to get some stuff checked off the list! Here are a couple pictures of Olivia today. First, swinging, and all of a sudden her baby goes everywhere with her. Also, she had to try out dad's sweet head lamp :)
