The girls were up at their normal time, raring and ready to go. After some cartoons and time to wake up, we all had breakfast and got the day started. Christian mowed the backyard and did some trimming all around. I cleaned up the kitchen and living room, and got the girls dressed. Then, we all headed outside for today's task. Washing the vehicles. We vacuumed, washed and cleaned the car and the truck. I did some picking up in the garage and watered the plants. The girls took a nice long nap a midst all of this fun. It was the perfect day to spend some time outside....not too hot, a little breezy. It actually felt like fall is around the corner. Maybe we'll be blessed with a cooler August!
We ordered some pizza for dinner and goofed around for a while. The girls were pretty feisty tonight, but we did our best to harness it and play with them through the tantrums, fighting and little toddler screaming. Once the girls were in bed, Christian and I cuddled up with some movies. We watched Safe House, which was really good. Didn't really know what to expect from it, but it was better than I expected. Then we watched Act of Valor. Sad, very sad, but it was really good too.
I definitely passed out after that. I can't even believe I made it through 2 movies period! When we put the girls to bed, Olivia was really fighting it...crying, throwing a fit. Since we put them down at the same time, she was in our room to fall asleep. Well, to get her to sleep, I promised her she could stay in sleep with me tonight. We'll see how that goes - she is a wild sleeper!
Here are some pics of the girls helping us clean the car. YAY for free child labor :)
