Today was a pretty exciting day. Work flew by this morning, and I ended up taking the afternoon off, picking up Olivia and taking her out to the Mall of America to meet Cinderella! One of our local theaters is putting on a production of “Cinderella”, and Cinderella and her Fairy Godmother were appearing at the Mall, doing a little performance, and a meet and greet after. We met the Madrid’s out there so the girls could meet them. I got Olivia all dressed up in her Cinderella costume and she was SO excited. She loved every minute of it, and couldn’t wait to meet Cinderella and give her a big hug. It was so fun, I love doing stuff like this. I’m glad we were able to make it.

After the show, Olivia and I stopped into Target to pick up a few things, and then she passed out and took a short, late nap. She and I ate dinner together when she woke up, and then waited for Christian and Amelia to come home. Buddy showed up, hiding on top of the girls’ curtains in their room, with some Bubbles for the girls. Bubbles and kids – it never fails.We had a pretty relaxing evening, just blowing bubbles and hanging out.
