I can’t believe
this is the last week of August. I feel like life, time, everything is just
flying by. It’s going to be FALL in a couple of weeks…it’s just unbelievable.
Today was a pretty
typical Monday. The girls were off to my in-laws for the day. Work was work. I
ended up leaving early today. I wasn’t really in a “work” mood today – I just
couldn’t get motivated. But, on top of that, we are in dire need of groceries
in the house. I planned on going yesterday, but my headache kind of derailed
those plans, so I took some time off this afternoon. Ran to Target (and, took
my time for a change), packed everything away, spent a little time on the
computer and made dinner before the rest of the house got home.
Christian was a little
later than usual tonight. His sister and nieces moved back from Mexico on
Friday, and they were supposed to stop over to his parents’ house tonight, so
he waited for a bit to see if she showed up. Unfortunately, she couldn’t get a
ride over, so she didn’t make it. Olivia can’t wait to see her cousins, so
hopefully we can get them together soon! I had dinner ready for them when they
got home. We got them right into their pajamas after they ate, and let them
play for a while.
Tonight, we did
become aware of one of their new little tricks though. Christian came in from
the garage and asked where the dog was. We couldn’t find him anywhere, so I
thought the girls had him downstairs with them. Christian peeked outside, only
to see Chuy running around back by the fence. We couldn’t figure out how it got
outside…but he opened the door to yell for him to come in, only to hear little
toddler girl giggles coming from the downstairs patio. Turns out, they’ve
learned how to unlock the patio doors and let themselves out. On top of that
fun, they had pushed their little picnic table over by the swing, Amelia had
climbed up into the swing, and Olivia was pushing her, like it was no big deal.
Ugh – these kids, too smart for their own good! Our “deadbolt” lock on the doors
is pretty tough to open, and it has a floor latch on top of it – I couldn’t
believe they could get all THREE locks undone. Tricky girls. Thank god we’re
fenced in!
We finally brought
them inside and sent them off to bed. I got my workout in, caught up on some
shows and was off to bed myself.
Here is a picture
of the troublesome duo in action…
