Christian worked some OT again today, and of course, Olivia was up as he was leaving for work. So, she and I hung out and watched some cartoons while Amelia slept. Once both girls were up and driving me nuts, the day was certainly on. Soon after Amelia woke up, they escaped into the backyard. I went out to find them already at it in the sandbox. Seriously, it's impossible to keep them indoors!
I finally managed to get them in for breakfast, and then right back into the yard we went. Before I knew it. Christian was already home from work. We ate some lunch together, and the girls went down. They were both pretty out of control today - just not listening to ANYTHING we said, and fighting with each other non stop, over everything. Nap time could not come soon enough, that's for sure. And, Christian and I both took a little nap ourselves...
Once Olivia was up, she and I were off to do a little shopping. We needed some food and snacks for our trip tomorrow, and we needed to get a bed rail for Amelia. She just can't seem to keep herself on her bed! After shopping, Christian fired up the grill, I started packing and did some laundry and cleaned up around the house.
After dinner, some pretty big storms rolled into the area. The tornado sirens started going off right away, and it looked pretty scary. Usually I tend to ignore the sirens, but things tonight were a little scary, so we all headed down to the basement. When it seemed the storms had passed, we started hooking up the bed rail, and suddenly our weather radio started going off. It didn't look too bad out this time, but as we were checking it out, the sirens started up again. And, again, the rain started coming down like crazy. Huge hail, huge drops and it was coming down fast. It was so windy though, it flew over pretty quickly. Scary though.
Finally, things were quiet, and the girls went down to sleep. We finished gathering the last of our trip necessities, and we're all ready to get up, eat, pack the final few things and head out on the road. I cannot wait to get there, and I can't wait to see my friend Dawn again!! So excited for a couple days away :)
Today's Photo a Day in May is Favorite Place. Of course, my home. Where we live our lives, experience so many ups and downs, watch our girls grow day by day and where we'll grow old and crazy together. Yes, definitely my favorite place...
And, here are some other photos from our day. Olivia is the flower girl in my BFF's wedding next month, so we're trying to figure out what to do with her hair. I think we're going to need to use curlers, so I bought some today. Of course, she wanted to try them out right away. And, of course since she got to, Amelia had to as well. The end results - Amelia, hilarious, Olivia, cute - but still not going to do the trick. We're going to need to pull out all of the hair products in the book for that girl!
