6/3/12

Today was a pretty lame day. I had big plans of heading to Grand Old Day today with the family…parade, some bad fad, some kiddie park fun. But, I was pretty tired, and Christian didn’t seem to motivated to get up and going, so we decided to pass on it. I was pretty bummed, and the day was pretty darn boring as a result, but we survived. The girls swam in the backyard for a while, we played in the playroom for a bit, breakfast/lunch/naps. The usual.

After naps, we decided to go out for dinner, and get out of the house for a bit. We stopped into the Mexican restaurant down the street from us, and boy was it YUMMY!

After dinner, we decided to stop into Target and splurge on the girls a little. We never really buy them toys, dress-up stuff, or anything fun like that. We take them out and about quite a bit, and occasionally surprise them with a goody, but it’s pretty rare that they actually get toys and stuff like that from us. We just don’t like to spoil them in that way – and we know that their interest in whatever we buy them will fade soon enough. We just felt in a spoiling mood today though. So, we let each of the girls pick out a new toy. Olivia ended up picking a princess microphone. It plays a couple princess theme songs, and you can talk/sing into it. She was in love with it! Amelia, of course, picked out a new baby doll. That girl and he dolls, she just love them to pieces!

Finally, we were back home. We watered the plants, took baths, and headed to bed. Or, so we thought. I put Amelia down, like normal. She talked to herself for a bit, like normal. After it was quiet for a while, we put Olivia down, like normal. To our surprise, Amelia was actually still awake though. Just laying there, hanging out. Of course, that never goes well. The girls ended up goofing around, talking, laughing and acting up until 10:30!!!!! When Amelia finally passed out. Ugh – I hate nights like this!
