Well, it was a bit
of a chaotic day today. Work was busy, and the day flew by. Today was the
annual “Government Employee Appreciation” lunch. We got some free Subway, chips
and a drink and they had a couple games to play. We got in line late and had to
wait quite a while, so we skipped the games this year. But, free lunch, YAY!
After work, I
picked up the girls, got them changed quickly, and then we were off. Tonight we
were off to a neighborhood festival that a local church puts on every year
(they also do a big Halloween party every year). They give out free food, have
a bunch of inflatables for the kids to jump in, and carnival games to play.
Cotton candy, SnoCones and entertainment. It’s always a good time, and the kids
have so much fun. This year they were giving out backpacks, and Olivia managed
to get a super cool Cinderella one that she just adores. Lucky girl!
We left there around
8:00 – already passed Amelia’s bedtime, so she went right to bed when we got
home. It’s amazing – this is the child that wouldn’t go to bed for anything as
a baby – I would seriously fall asleep trying to get to sleep at night (and,
the sleep never lasted long!). Now, she’s so easy. I tell her it’s time for
bed…she usually heads to her room, but if she says no, I just tell her “OK, no
songs then”, and she runs to her room as fast as she can. Then, I sing her 3
songs, and put her down. That’s it. I never thought it would be so easy to get
her to sleep – I thought for sure she would give us a run for our money. I
guess it’s all about finding the right system! Olivia has always been easy –
she just goes down, no issue – as long as Amelia is already asleep of course!
I got my workout
in, watched a little TV to cool down, then we were off to bed! Another day
down, and hopefully all of the sugar from the festival doesn’t keep the girls
up!
