7/6/11 - A Day At the Park

Well, it's just another day around our house. Christian continues to work early and late, probably will through next week too catching up from the busy holiday. The girls slept in again, which was great. I'm hoping that continues for as long as I'm home, that's for sure! Amelia woke up in the middle of the night and would not go down. She ended up staying in bed with me for a little while, until she finally passed out.

Once the girls were up, we ate some breakfast, got ourselves dressed, and were off to the park for a while. Olivia flocked right to the other kids at the park, which is good and bad. Good because she's outgoing and loves to be around other kids, bad because she likes the older kids, and likes to do what they do. I don't like to hover, and I like that she experiments, tries new things and isn't scared, but at the same time, it's hard to watch her do things that could injure her. Amelia and I hung off to the side, did a little swinging, and she explored for a little while. It was way too hot out though, so we didn't stay super long. Even though she was all sweaty and gross, she still didn't want to leave, and threw a fit. That was fun..I was dying from the heat, carrying Amelia in her carseat, and trying to wrangle Olivia up. Oh, the joys!

We all ate some lunch, and the girls were off for another nice, long nap. YAY. I never knew how truly amazing nap time was until now! Christians' mom has told me she has the girls nap at different times, and I really don't understand that one bit. That is MY time...and the house is nice and peaceful so they both get some good sleep. I love it.

I started dinner shortly after the girls woke up, Christian arrived home again just as it was getting done, so we didn't have much family time tonight. The girls were SUPER dirty from our park fun, so they got a good scrub down, then we were all off to bed. Even though I don't have to get up early, I'm still ready to pass out as soon as the girls go down. LOL

Here are some pictures from the park.
